Needle nose pliers to reach the hold-down springs through those little bitty holes. Replace with the stainless steel hardware. If the star wheels are stuck, don't waste your time trying to free them, they come in the kit.

Width = 9.25''
Sidewall height = 5.55''
Circumference = 82''

Not sure if they are still avail. I went to Uniroyal's site. Looks like they still sell Tiger Paws but not sure if they are available in raised white letter.

Installed Flowtech Headers. Fit Perfectly. Only thing needed to mod is the starter ground wire.

I drove mine

cleaned up the differential carrier and coated it with alodine to prevent future oxidation.

I installed the floor extension on my Cargo modification......

(Only because the car was a basket case)

I removed the brake line from the master cylinder, removed the parking brake cable and assembly and removed the seat belt cable that connected the belts to the chassis. Everything is looking to be on track for removing the chassis from the car tomorrow.

I finished the cargo extension.....now there is plenty of room for my wife's suitcases on those long road trips.........

Still working on my Frankenvette. Boy, I am really sick of cleaning! I think my garage floor will never be the same.

After the rear suspension goes back in, I start on brakes.

72 had a full service, new Lloyds mats and got rid of the 11/2" exhaust for this beast







And new door weather stripping. It's all set for the summer and the exhaust note with the lopey cam is just what I wanted.

Replaced the metering rods and step-up springs on my Edelbrock 1406. Used the same ones that come standard in the 1405 carb and that eliminated a flat spot both on acceleration from a full stop and at 60-70 mph. Also adjusted the idle speed and it now idles nicely at 600 rpm. I plan to install new .100" primary main jets next.








Also been working on my 1978 steering column and am making good progress. I have it all apart and will finish painting some of the covers so when the last pieces I've ordered come in, I will be ready to start reassembling it. It's been quite a learning experience and I hope it will turn out okay. I even fixed the stub shaft and got the telescopic part working again.

I opted for a camera-case finish for the housing covers which I think looks great.








This used to be a bearing at some point. I will install all new bearings.












The main steering shaft had some surface rust. I prepped a few parts with rust neutralizer, which I brushed on.




These are just a few of the guts of the T&T steering column. A lot of engineering went into these things.




And here's the main steering shaft and housing after rust neutralizer was applied.

I have a new found respect for you guys that tackle the intricate steering column rebuilds. I just got into mine to replace the key buzzer. That was enough for me. And that's easy. Right?

MSGT-R

When in doubt, take pictures; fill the frame.

CFLVette

There's nothing "easy" about these steering columns.

If you went into the belly of the beast and came out alive...

slickfx3

that was sarcasm...mine still turns the wheels.....

going to let sleeping dogs lie, i don't want no steering column project or rather a steering column basket case

I sanded on this.................................... ..................

What are we looking at? Did you sand your C3 until it turned into a convertible?
