    Did some touch up paint on the fire wall.
    Installed the front to rear brake line. New one is no where near the same as the old one.
    Cleaned up and installed the tank vapor line.
    Mounted the new fuse box.
    Re-assembled the steering column.
    Cleaned and painted the frame mounts for the engine.

    Now what steering wheel adapter works well with these columns?:hmmm:
