Wires, wires everywhere

[TonyinKC]

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and encouragement. I'm trying to finish up a four year restoration.

I've been running wiring and assembling sub-assemblies. It's coming along but little things take a lot of time.

My new seat is maroon, so I've added a few additional maroon features to help with color matches.

Here's a few photos.

I can't wait for us to see each other's finished products with the differences and similarities.

Tony ;

That's a marvelous job you're doing there ! .

has it been FOUR YEARS already ?! .

Hard to believe Nate, but yes, 4 years. My son Joe (who is pictured in my avatar) has grown up. Where does the time go?

I ran into a problem today installing my column shifter assembly. My original upper clamp collar that attaches to the steering column with two chrome headed short screws had a broken flange, so I bought a replacement collar from a restoration parts place. The configuration is all wrong and just doesn't square up, so now I need to find an original part in good condition that I can repurpose. Anyone know where I can find a nice original? (excuse the out of focus photo).

Thanks,
Tony
