After getting things preliminarily fit then I did wrap up the steering column mod by doing a quick grind and of the welds and primered the local area. A few pics of the somewhat finished area. I will have to pretty up the welds and massage a few areas when I remove the body from the frame but it will do for now.
With the column installed then I focused on getting the brake pedal built. I used a large hex bolt (½ dia) that I cut off and fabbed up a brake pedal to fit the rubber brake pedal that I had purchased. Once I had it tack welded it in place I then removed the pedal support and final welded the assembly and painted it.
After the brake pedal was in place it became clear that the trans tunnel that I made was going to get in the way of a gas pedal. Oh well, two steps forward and one step back. I address that later after I choose the shifter and get the trans cross-member better defined.
