Tilt Column
Looking for opinions on the Flaming River and Ididit tilt steering columns for a 65. The Ididit appears to be significantly cheaper. Is it significantly lower quality?
Thanks
Tom

You can label yourself a cheap SOB if you want to but I consider you extravagant for that little visit you made to the heart hospital to see me a couple of weeks back.
You know I'm prejudiced on the Flaming River column since I have the prototype in my 63. I don't know about the Ididit columns as I have never used one. If it fits and works as well as my Flaming River the money is well saved.
When you coming back down? I will be driving in another couple of weeks and my lungs are now working at better than 60 per cent. Walking is much easier and I am actually getting out of the house on a pretty regular basis.

You're a stand up guy, and I wish you a quick recovery. You've helped me in the past, and I truly appreciate it.

Glad to here you are feeling better! I knew a little thing like heart surgery wouldn't keep you down.
I think I will be down the last week of the month. I'm going to OCMD for Hot Rod weekend and I think I will drive the car down directly from there on Sunday.
Then I'll work my home for the beach. Good plan eh?

I just put the steel one in the car but painted it the same black as the org one. Man I love it in the car & really have to look hard to tell any thing diff. I just put it at the higher setting all the time. I can really get in and out of the car fast with no problems, also nothing is in the way of any of the gauges as far as seeing everything.
