[quote=jbojo]Now only if I can figure how to remove the pin at the steering box so that I can get the column out. Heat it up with a blow torch, lube and pound it out with a punch!

I've always used a 1/4" bolt about 3-4" long as a drift, and allot of pounding and it will fall out. I use a disk brake caliper pin

Not much to report, mostly sourcing parts that I need.
** I got the steering column out and tomorrow I will be boxing it up to get it restored. ** Sending the Power Brake booster to Dewey's for rebuild ** Steering gear box going to firm feel. ** Ordered all the interior parts from Legendary ** The dash paint is coming from Instrument Specialties. ** Wiper motor is getting restored. PO had put an C body motor in at some point so I was able to get the correct variable speed motor and it is being rebuilt.
After I get everything boxed up I will be repairing the steering wheel. This weekend is supposed to be in the 100's and it's just too hot to work in the garage so I don't think much will get accomplished.

I really love your Roadrunner and it is great to see it get the resto it deserves. I was looking at your firewall pics and Detroit Muscle Technologies are now making a very nice firewall insulation piece. Much improved over there original one they came out with. Looking forward to watching this thread. Good Luck! Thx, Yeah I have been looking at the DMT parts and was thinking about their Mega Kit. I am hoping to have this back on the road by the end of next summer. I'll try to keep this thread updated every week. Got the column boxed up so I can ship it out on Monday.

Great job on your steering wheel! What did you do to replicate the texture? Thanks Pat I would also like to know what you did to replicate the texture of the wheel once sanded down? Thank you, Matt

Where did you get your parts plated? There's not many places that do that stuff anymore.
