I have decided that there is a great deal of logic in the advise I am being given about my steering column choice---start with the seat---Say what????? Yep, mock up the seat and know where you are going to plant your keester first. Then grab a steering wheel, hold it where I am comfortable, then yell for good wife to come on out here and help me with the tape measure. Of course, its obvious, isn't it. But first, I have to mock up a seat. In order to do that, I am going to have to get in and out of the roadster pickup 200 times with tape measure and plywood. That means I am going to have to take the car down off the 10" cement blocks which are under each wheel/tire to put it at a comfortable height while working on the hood/grillshell/radiator/electric fan. Now when I do that, it means I will probably be standing on the running boards a lot. The running boards are fiberglass, part of the fender package I bought, and I bought a set of those pressed steel running board supports to hold the running boards in place. Problem is, I weigh 1/8 of a ton, and I don't think the damn things will support me!!! This means that before I take the roadster pickup down off the cement blocks, I had better go down to the steelyard and buy some 2" x 1" x 1/8 wall rectangular tubing and build some serious running board supports and weld them to the frame. But---its Sunday, and everything is closed. Well, I think my real job in my design office is just about whipped for this year, untill next years budgets break lose after the new year starts, so now I can play Mister Hotrod Builder for the next few days.----Nobody ever said that building hotrods was simple. Merry Christmas
