My personal jury is still out on the carpeted steering column , but it might just grow on me.
Otherwise , this is a nice example of what I love in a good street car.

It`s not in a garage it IS his garage and that made it way harder to do all this stuff compared to my bitchen set up I had for 20+ years but oh well, things are lookin up though................

Somewhere out there, a man is lonely for that steering column.
That is one heck of a nice street car sir. Very nice work that you should be proud of.
