He said he will have more in a couple of weeks. I probably won’t install mine for a while so if you need it sooner, you can have the one I got coming and I’ll get one from the next batch.
Okay, that sounds good, that's awfully kind of you. Thanks Bill.
Lol, that's a good responseIt’s been fact checked….

The last photo is my car. Love the column, only issue I have being it sits slightly lower than the factory column did. Other than that it’s great and you can see there’s a nice looking turn signal switch that fits them.
We gutted and shortened my factory tube, made rynite bushings for the ends, small diameter moly tube/shaft, welded quick release on one end and a u-joint on the other. Lightened the factory mount, and all bolts in. Not aluminum, but a bunch lighter than original and keeps some semblance of original.

Very nice work, by any chance did you weigh it ?
Do you have a thread on this build ?
That's clean, your interior looks nice from that photo
Looks like something you could fab on the living room floor this winter, warm and cozy and some tunes.
That's a great idea.
I have a broomstick for a steering column in my duster.
I don't doubt it, you're over east where they used to burn up witches....must be a lot of extras
Some of my best work has been done on the kitchen table or living room during winter.
budget?
I wonder if it's wood or aluminum

Where did you get the turn signal switch from? Was thinking it looked familiar lol

I got it from motion race works. It’s a two piece deal with a simple rocker switch in it. It’s nice but was a PITA to make the signals work on a 3 prong switch.

Much appreciated. Gotta take trick photography since the car is ugly enough I gotta sneak up on the gas pumps.
I'm sorry, No. It goes it spurts of ambition. Haven't touched the car in 3-4 months. I'm waiting on a major part of the build to get finished, so I can get serious again....
Next is the fuel system, which has been started. I'm really wanting to get the entire driveline in it, first.

The one I ordered will be here on Monday. Did you want it or you going to wait? Also, when are you going to be over this way so you can pick up the paint? Don't make me start charging you storage fees on this free paint! lol

Thank you, I don't think I can afford that thing right away. I had to buy a bumper today I forgot about. The paint, I'll have to figure something out.
I'll let you know asap.
