Hello board, we have not been active for a little while. Life and all its distractions have placed "rusty" on the back burner for a little while.
Anyway we are now back on it and have a question for those of you who would know far more than I.
Is there a steering column that we can swap into a 66 coup from a late(r) model car? What we are concerned about primarlily is the safety.
This 66 6 cyl coup is being restored by my son (now 15) to be used as his daily driver starting next summer. We would like to get away from the spear that is currently in the car and change to a colapsable one that might not kill him in case of a major front end colision. his funds are a bit tight so if we could find one that would swap without purchasing a complete one from flaming river or that sort it would be nice. Obviously without airbags etc....
Other safety mods we have completed and/or are still in the works: bucket seats, disk brakes, 3 point seat belts, front and rear suspension upgrades, lowered seat pans (the boy is already 6' tall)
We would appreciate any other ideas in this area as well.
Thanks in advance
Greg (dan's dad)
