Steering Column & Carpet

I’ve had a few questions pertaining to the Tilt Telescopic Steering Column and the Carpet that has been shown in some past photos. The Column is a converted C Body unit that came out of a 1970 Imperial. We use a stock 1970 Barracuda Column along with the Imperial unit and merged them into one unit. The Column no longer represents any Assembly Line version ever created by Chrysler. It is now its own morphed version, fabricated for this “One of a Kind” Concept Tribute. The Steering Wheel is a stock E Body Wood Wheel. The attaching base was converted to to allow the mounting of the E Body Wheel. Below is a short series of progression photos showing the the mock up to the final set up.

The Carpet that is shown in the picture is NOT the Carpet that will be used for this project. I had 5 separate sets of custom Carpet manufactured for this project. I picked the best appearing and fitting set for this vehicle. The pieces that are currently in the car is one of the leftover sets that will not be used. It is only there to provide some cushioning against the metal floor, while we’re working inside of the vehicle.
