When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

Here's something I noticed with your grant steering wheel kit. The metal shroud behind the steering wheel that you have is actually for a 1970 up locking column. I ran into that with my 67. You can see the shroud for my 67 sits at the right diameter whereas yours is larger than the column. My guess is they sold you the wrong kit. It will bolt up ok, but the shroud is for 70 up with locking column. Grant# 4313 is the kit needed for your column, they probably sold you Grant# 3314
