Installed the steering column. Cut the wires and re terminated to a gm plug. Got the borgeson joint drilled, pinned and everything attached to each other.
Well saidI think sentimental value or the lack thereof actually should be a huge consideration here. I was never looking for an A body Notch...I always wanted my 69 440 Road Runner from HS back...or an E body Cuda but I knew the 68 Notch was my Dad's dream build and when I had the shot to buy this one I jumped on it. My Dad passed years ago and the car has inherent challenges on top of the design challenges I've added...and I wouldn't change a thing, nor would I quit this build! Family and/or past connections are huge for guys and gals with cars they love, you see it and feel it in person, and in darn near every Overhaulin, Phantom Works etc. episode, my wife will never understand the connection factor that I and thousands of other folks do in this arena. The point is the connection is there, you have a connection with your Notch and have already dug into it and made it yours! I agree with many other comments in that, maybe there's a notch out there with a pristine body, but it will be expensive and it won't be yours. I also agree that the pics you have shown is damage that is fixable, it's all fixable. My two cents: go with your heart/gut...this is a muscle car! I mean nothing about these things really make financial sense right? We've got every other area in our lives to consider and/or worry about "financial sense". Good Luck!
Hey thanks. Reconfigured the battery/power distribution box. Added a battery lug and moved the busbars. Had to order a few more proprietary Holley pins for the ignition box and coil. That way I can add and subtract wire without splicing.Beautiful
I did not drill a hole. I kept it as low profile as possible and snuck it between the dash pad and frame. Body color is TT1 avocado green and the interior is dark metallic green, no idea on code. The paint is Sherwin-Williams automotive. They only offered TT1 in there low-level paint. My painter would only use their top of the line, so I took their ultra 7000 color samples and matched it the best I could. It's extremely close.did you drill a hole to route the wire from the tach and display, or just squeeze it under the dash pad along side the bracket? also wondering what the paint code on your tag is. looks the same as my 68' but you never know from pics

All right, I said I would update when I've got this figured out. So here's my third brake light process.Tell me about the third brake light... I have a Hella that mounts up top. I’m curious how this one turns out. Integration does not look as elegant but it isn't really noticeable and it is just above the field of view in the rear view mirror.

Is firm feel going to eventually offer one of those for a borgeson box,I guess it's time to update this thread. Been a while and i've been getting after it. Here is the steering support sector bearing. This is from firmfeel. However it doesn't work with the borgeson box. The box is a metric thread and the support nut from firmfeel is standard/stock. Matt at firmfeel ended up sending me a blank support nut that I drilled and rethreaded to M22x1.5.
