Update: 83 days down, 7 days till we load it in the trailer.

Gonna back track some, someone wanted pixs of steering column, so here they are. first a little bit of explanation. I started with a complete 67 mustang column and a complete chevette column, I cut them both in half both the shafts and the column itself. The stang shaft slide inside the chevette shaft just perfect, we slid in inside about 12 inches so it would stay straight. we welded them together. we then took the bottom half of the chevette column and welded it to the top half of the stang column. we then fit a grant steering wheel to the top half.

here you can see the shaft and the column prior to assembly

here is pic of rear tire, sidepipes, and roll bar, I like the silver on all three, I feel it follows theme, the chrome on outer rim ties in with mirrors and windshield frame.
