New steering column plans...

[kdanie]

Over on the ShopTalk Eurolook forum, in the thread about how much $$ we each have invested in our cars, I mentioned I planned to fabricate my own steering column. My nice restored column intended for my GL went with my old daily driver "trash bug" after my wife smacked the back of a Jag.

I intend to fabricate a new column from the firewall to the steeringwheel. My original plans were to use some aluminum tube with a "brushed" surface for the housing but I was thinking lately of some polished thin wall Stainless or even some 4130 chromemolly. The chromemolly would have to be painted so only I would really know what it was made of but it's light/strong and really cool stuff.

If you were getting a custom steering column what material would you prefer in YOUR GL??
