Alan
wanted a real clean, traditional column. He had an original '33 column
and drop that was real sweet, so we decided to modify it to work.
|
 |
The
original drop had a steering lock that had a great look, just too short.
We added some length to bring the column down some, and also gave it a
raised area to match the raised areas of the dash. |
 |
We will
eventually have a '33 wheel cut down with a slight dish added, but for
now the mock up wheel is used because it has the same dimensions. We
also adapted the column to use a wheel mounted horn button.
|
 |
We
wanted the firewall area as clean as possible, so we made a little cupped
piece and welded it to the firewall. |
 |
The
only thing seen on exit of the firewall is the u-joint. No shaft or
splines are visible. |
 |
Here's a picture
after all of the bodywork, painting, sanding and buffing has been
done. It will really look nice with the finished wheel and brown
leather interior.
