Got my adapter for my new steering wheel, I am pretty happy with it.

Does now! yea it looks pretty good. I need to make a cone on the other end to mate up with the steering column.

Thought someone you following this might be interested in the current situation. I haven't done anything really on the car recently bc I have been working on my Challenger, however I have managed to damage my new paint... making a bracket and the grinder caught it and skipped it across my right quarter panel... ugh...  So, when it gets nice I will have to fix that and repaint it... lucky me..

I have decided I am also going to put a tow loop in the front of the car, it is so low and with the spoiler, there is no way it could be towed without destroying the spoiler, anyone have any ideas? I am thinking of making a bar that ties into both bumper brackets so that it pulls on them at the same time. I would rather come off the frame or even the K frame but there just isn't any place to tie into or off of.

Looks nice.
Where did you get it from?

Google "Tow Loop", and take a look at the images.  You might get some ideas.  If you are going to the track, there might be some rule specific locations.

Sorry to hear about the paint, sigh.

IMO Hushmat is better than Dynamat because the outer foil on the Dynamat is very sharp whereas the Hushmat is not. Yes, it adheres fine.

My hands can attest to the sharp edges of dynamat!   Otherwise worked great though

I had it machined by a friend/neighbor.

Thanks - I am definitely looking at a hard tow point; once I get the front end assembled I will be able to see what space I have available. The other (more important) issue is connecting it where I can really pull from, this has to be a functional hook. The strap is ok too and certainly cost effective; perhaps another option is developing the tow point which the strap could be connected to should I need it... Not too worried about the back; I can get to the axle if need be.

That's messed up , but who better than yourself to be the first to damage your virgin paint work.

First scratch/gouge hurts the worst.

You used single stage paint right? Isn't it much easier to touch up than a color clear?

Yes I did and I think it is easier to repair in that you do not have reclear. We will see what I get to it, but I might be able to fill it and buff it out or fill it and reshoot the top of the quarter. It isn't that big of a deal really since I have the equipment and paint to do it, it just pisses me off that it happened.
