"The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"

Uh oh.....I'm not seeing pictures...just little icon thingies. Well...I'll still post them and hopefully you's guys can see them. Moving forward, tail panel installed and I'm reaching a point where I need help. I was pondering the engine bay and thought I needed to look to my idol to find the strength to move on.

Much like Fonzi with a poster of James Dean on the inside of his closet door, I have a pic of Mikey hanging in front of my shop. When I think I'm at a stumbling block, I look to the photo for guidance. Today, it said, "Stop blubbering, you dumb-a$$, GET THAT CAR DONE!!!" and then Kelly decided to get in on the action. Everyone's piling up against me! Oh, I know you're here Grady, and don't think you're getting out of this one! I got your picture around here somewhere too! Or, I'm sure Kelly does :-))))

Cheers (where's my beer Icon??) :cheers:

OK, now I see the pics. For those that need to know how to see them without clicking the little icon box, you'll all need to go to the UserCP, click on the options list and go down and select: show signatures, pictures, etc, much like you did when you fist signed up. Then they'll show up. OK, moving on, I was diving into the steering colum today as well. Some detail stuff. I've seen the columns restored differently. Some have a natural shaft (mmm....that didn't sound exactly right...) and others show a painted black shaft. So, time for detective work. My car has remnants of black paint on the shaft and coupler body, but none on the seal or seal retainer. Also, none on the bearing either. So based on my evidence, that's how my original column was and that's how mine is going back. Also, several survivor cars show the same thing.

I dove into the passenger seat recovering too. Much like the rear seat upholstery, it cleaned up perfectly and I'll reuse the top half. I will need to recover the bottom. Looking good!!!!
