65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

I have been taking a sabbatical from the Dart for awhile. Yesterday I decided to do something even if was wrong. so I decided the steering column I’m going to use - a M Body tilt column needed a coat or two of light blue metallic paint to match the interior. Then I decided to install the larger steering column toe plate. Got 2 of the 5 bolts installed and dropped the 3rd bolt somewhere on the floor as i heard it hit the metal floorboard. I’ll be damned it I can find it even after sort of pulling the carpet up on the driver’s s side. Even my wife tried to find it. And I searched again today with no luck!
