Letting some project creep sneek in.
Slight detour but still part of "finish everything I touch" mode.
Steering coupler required rebuilding.

Stopped by the bodyshop today. They are painting it again as they were not happy with the results. Tough colour to paint they said? Maybe get it back atvthe end of next week.

Well at least they are concerned about their quality of work.

While rebuilding my column, I also started modifying a spare crush can by shortening it about 1 inch.
Set up in the lathe and sliced it apart at the crest of two of the raised bumps.
Will work feature profile back in after welding.
Should be invisible when done.

Visited mine today at the body shop, almost done, just some polishing left to do. Sure has a nice shine to it!

Thanks, Yes , it's going to be a busy summer! Sure will be nice to get it back together as I also have the Javelin apart and I have parts stored everywhere.... They seem to have done a great job. They even straightened the hood bow and repainted the hood. New trunk pans and drop offs, sure is sweet to get rid of all the previous owners rattle can black in the door jams and inside of trunk lid was still the original burnt orange, its all shiny sublime now !  I also polished up all the stainless while it was off, it sure pops against the new paint !
