Got the inside painted and started working on the steering.
I figured since I had a tilt steering column from a -76 grand lemans it would be nice with tilt. I used the front half of the housing, the dash mount, and the part that bolts to the firewall from the vega column. Modified te front housing to fit the lemans lower bearing. The rest of the parts are from the lemans.
Well some parts are from a -88 G20 van since the lemans column was incomplete. I once borrowed the missing parts for a -70 cadillac deville and a -70 lemans... =) Gotta love GM for keeping it simple and using the same parts on millions of vehicles.
Had to shorten the seering axle about 75mm but it is easy to do since it is collapsable inside the column.
As a bonus I have the turn signal high/low beem switch wich I like more than the stock foot switch.
