    I have a wicked PDF the shows in detail how to disassemble a steering column.  Shoot me a PM with your address and I can email it to you.

    IT was done a while ago by a member here.

    Making slow but steady progress on more interior parts.  Lots of travel for work right now, so fitting in work on the car whenever I can.  Finished up the heater box, vent assembly and the clutch/brake pedal assembly.  Will attack the emergency brake and gas pedal next.  Have two weeks with no travel, so looking forward to posting more pictures soon :bigsmile:

    Thanks for the compliments!  It feels good to make things shiny again.

    I have been using DupliColor BGM0535 Silver Met (previously T178) to mimic the look of fresh bare steel.  I like it because it does not smudge and I want a durable finish.

    I used DupliColor DA1603 Semi-Gloss Black for the bottom of the pedals.

    Dave from Performance Car Graphics recommended both of these paints when I was doing my dash.  I decided to keep using them throughout for consistency across the car.

    A little before and after on my parking brake pedal assembly!  The only thing I took apart was the release lever as it needed to be straightened.  I was able to get all the other parts blasted, primed and painted without too much trouble or taking it completely apart.  :bigsmile:
