PS -

John, you and Troy might recognize the steering column, that covers the shaft, too..

pre-'68 Type 1....
Hey, it's what I had, I was making a display with the extra EMPI GTV wheel and Polar Silver painted Oval dash I have, was going to make a wall hanging out of everything after I shortened the column and shaft, but the column was straight, round, and I found press-in bearings that supports the shaft top and bottom quite nicely...so it ended up being a hot rod part instead of wall art...I sill may run the GTV wheel sometimes, all it would take is another steering shaft with splines instead of the keyway and threaded top, and the GTV wheel has a lot more dish" to it for my rather long legs to clear..

Fine looking true value that is!

Finally got some actual work done lastnight. I finished up the body to frame mounts (6 altogether). It’s amazing how solid the car is now just after 6 bolts
to the frame.
Lifted the body off of the frame today so I can get to work prepping the frame and drivetrain for paint.
Also got to work on the body installing the taillights. There was a lot of consideration choosing the lights, I considered 41 willys, 50 pontiac, and 39
zephyr. Then I found the ones I installed on the car at my grandparents house, I got a lot of parts off of that car. I need to replace the lenses and
get better buckets sometime in the future when funds allow.
Thought these add a 60's look while being different


One close up to get all of the details

I like the looks of them!
