Project Midnight Swinger
Took a grinder to the steering column. Cut some stuff off. I kept a defunct air flapper door out of an old slant six air cleaner for some reason. Well that reason was to make a patch for the shifter hole. I’m going to jb weld that into place.
I need to do some hand sanding to smooth out the grinder marks. Depending on how smooth it turns out I might just paint it and call it good. If it’s all wavy gravy then I will hit it with some filler, sand, then paint.
I’m considering hard mounting a mini tach where the shift indicator used to be, it would save me from having to do too much to it.
I also cut of the arm for the column shift to trans. I just rubbed some of the old grease on it to prevent any flash rusting. I will be cleaning this area up and doing the bearing upgrade before the column goes back in.
