Re: Scott's '51 Build

Got the wife to help strip out the dash this weekend. We pulled all the instruments and misc stuff out. There's a think layer of dirt inside the lower dash which got all over - mostly fell on her! She was a trooper and did a great job getting to all the small bolts for me.

When that was done we put the seat back and made a column/wheel mockup. Looks like a 32/33" column will do the trick.

I'm looking at a Flaming River or Ididit tilt column with column shift. I am also thinking hard about the key in the column plus the dimmer/wiper controls on the column. Any thoughts on these choices?

Also decided I like the seat (late '80's Chevy truck bench seat) about 1" raised. I'm thinking of just cutting a 1x1 tube and putting to under each side and running the seat bolts through it. Seems like that should work fine?

Thanks!
