Re: 1953 3100 "Honey-do"

I've been kicking the steering column cover down the road for a bit because I don't have a lot of experience metal forming from scratch. It takes me a while to get going. Finally got some ideas after playing around with some cardboard. I wanted it to only be low enough to hide things and remove the possibility of hitting it with your knee. Here is what I came up with.

The "ring" of metal or lip at the transition point of the dash will be used to attach a black leather boot to allow the column to tilt up and down. The cover over the column will be covered with the same material. Right now, the two screws are there until I confirm with the upholsterer that my plan will work ok. Then I will cut the two parts and weld them together and then to the column.
