5" of Rain in Past Three Days, but a Little More Progress

Working between storms, I managed to get the steering column painted and the front shock slots enlarged to fit the '56 bolt size. Not too sure if the ivory shade is quite what I want. It appears more yellow than I expected.

 

Also did some experimentation on the steering wheel design. It's easy to make the horn function with custom parts, but making the center cap and horn ring trim look period is something else.

Yesterday I ordered a part from Summit and it arrived today! Like so many things I order online, the $4 part advertised free shipping, but the handling charge was over $5. Even so, it beats driving around trying to find the part I wanted locally.
