The damage was done long ago 34_40 ! LOL
[IMG][/IMG]
Found this on a trip to the junk yard. It's from a 96 Chev Geo Metro. It has a built
in stop, and return spring. They had 4 cars in a row, bought them all 20 bucks,
already gave 2 to friends.

This a new (old style) Flaming River Column that I welded a piece of 3/8" stock on
that will index into a notch in the tubing welded to the firewall.

This shows how the column indexes into the firewall piece which clocks it with
the turn signal, and proper depth setting. There is a locking screw on the engine
side of the firewall, plus the column drop.
The gas pedal has been bent, with a tab welded to catch the cable carb linkage.
There was grinding needed on bracket to get full stroke needed for carb.

The round pedals did not give me enough room, so I fabbed new rectangular metal
pads, to fit rubber pedal covers I found on line at Summit. I welded a spacer into
the column drop to fit the new column, and added braces to the firwall that are
not visible in this pic. I made a hold down for the rubber boot on the shifter.

I wanted to finish covering the rear suspension. This piece ties into the rear panel
covering the tail lites. There is a removable cover for acess to tank sending unit,
and fuel feed. The card board simulates battery box.

This piece has inset removable plates to acess body mount bolts, and upper coil
overs. Making card board template seal off passenger compartment. Had to be
in two pieces , would not fit as one large piece.
