The doors

No it wasn't The Doors, it was Rolling Stones who sang I see a red door and I want it painted black .
These weren't even red but I still had to paint them black along with some smaller parts.

No colors anymore, I want them to turn black.



But I can not see any girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes. Not yet.

Steering column

Steering shaft is there already and a new grommet goes in followed by the ring. These are the first parts to install to the inside of the firewall.

The old insulation pad was the slid in place and attached with new pins. Don't forget to place shifter light's voltage wire at this point. I do not have or plan to install the console. If I would, it's wiring should also be installed between the pad and firewall.

The brake pedal and support had been cleaned and painted earlier. Note that I needed a box of french red wine to assemle them. The support seemed like it left the factory unpainted.
The steering column tube was then pushed through the grommet...
...and bolted with the bracket to the brake pedal support.
