My other Early A ---65 Dart post
Used up the rest of the spray can bedliner on the steering column firewall plate.
My shift linkage is still just a metal rod going through the holes where the driver floor would be if it had not rusted away. Been attempting to modify the 67 dart shift linkage to work with the 65 column. Ive gotten it mounted from the frame rail to the trans. Now just need to connect with the column.
