[Rude Dude]

I started to run the front brake lines now that my engine was out, and looked at steering out of the firewall. I didn't like it at all so I had asked chuckdriver how much his was out out and used that as a base to cut mine down. Over all I cut roughly 8 inches off the main shaft and 5" out of the outer shaft. If you look at the inner shifter tube I just used a dremmel and ground the 3 spot welds and slid the bracket up the tube and welded the bracket on the outside made it a lot simpler than dissembling the whole colmn just to cut and re weld the inner tube. All I had to do then was to cut the end of tube.
Also I move the neutral safety switch up on the column so it can't be seen inside.
