Ya know, I had a talk with Rick on Sunday and he lead me in the right direction, but in my subconscience, I was trying too hard. Today, I talked to Mikey from the NTBA and he not only confirmed what you and Rick had suggested, but he reminded me of a VERY important thing. SLOW DOWN, TAKE YOUR TIME, and most important, DO NOT SKIMP ON SAFETY!

It seems I was trying to save a few dollars and cut a few corners. Not a good thing to do with something like steering. So, I'm back on track and happy as all get out. I'll post pics when I get all the parts and put them together.

Thanks again, guys.

Re: Scratch built steering column

I didn't see it or I would have posted. Do a bump on it so I can see what you have to say.

Darn, Flatheadgary, I should have done a search before I started asking for advice from everyone. Here is his thread and there is info there that may have kept this thread a little shorter.

Next time, I'll do a search, so I can get all the info. Thanks, flatheadgary.

Re: Scratch built steering column

The bell just below the steering wheel dose add a lot to finshed look,one of the EZist I've done was and alum drinking cup,cut to fit and just epoxyed in place to a few [3]screws in the pipe that made the column tube. The alum polished up looks chrome.

Re: Scratch built steering column

Great tip Dana. I've also heard of a small SS mixing bowl being used. There has to be a lot of other things out there too.
