It is an IDIDIT column retro fit series 1140657020 (column shift). The wheel, hub and horn button are Billet Specialties classic series.

I found the cheapest price on the column was Performance Online, they also had a 20% off moving sale going on at the time, so I really got a deal.

Almost done wiring! All the underhood wiring is complete. This flex-a-lite fan controller is awesome. Runs 2 stage will start a 40% and then ramp up to 100% as you reach temp. Also let the can run for 30 seconds after you shut it down. We also got everything in the dash wired up and the gauge panel mounted. We took the wiring through the driver side inner fender/wheel well and it worked out great. All we have left is to install the grille, headlights, parking lights and trim and the wiring will finally be complete! I also have a glass guy coming this weekend to install the front and rear glass. She is so close to being road worthy I can almost taste it!

Painted the bed wood this weekend with KBS rust seal and blacktop gloss top coat. It turned out great looks like black glass. I just need to put the new polished bolt set in.

Short clip of the first drive around the neighborhood. Need to have the mufflers welded on, an alignment done, inspection and she will be ready to star crusing.

Kick ass build Slim! I've got a '63 and my plans are pretty much what you done but with a few different things.

How far is Needville from Magnolia? Any idea?

iiizman · 01-07-2011, 12:23 AM

It's around 70 miles

monolith · 01-07-2011, 03:48 AM

LOVE the stance!

C10Slim · 02-21-2011, 11:14 AM

I forgot to post the bed 100% completed so here is that. I also scored a set of 96 Chevy seats on CL this weekend. MUCH better sitting position than the bench. Plus it's powered on the drive side. I just need to have them recovered in black leather.

I also started a new project this week making kick panel speaker enclosures. These will house 6.5" components.
