I can't wait for the DVD! I'm going to dress up in costume, memorize every scene, and reenact it in all its glory... Some day... Sad

Ive been searching and I cant find an exploded view of the steering column. Anyone have one for my 59? I pulled the column apart and I have a bearing in there. I called Kochs, and he said that it might have been added to get rid of some of the slop in the column by the P.O. I have owned the car since '86. It is a 59 colum because my OG 59 steering wheel fits on it. I just want to make sure I put it back together correctly. Thank you
Mike

I gotta ask... It's been a long time since any new "discoveries" were made. Have we actually hit everything? Thinking back, I wonder if anyone ever found the time to flip through the accessories catalog to see if there were any accessories specific to us, or if the engine differences were thoroughly addressed...

In my mind, that ended such that we won't know unless there is some factory documentation (all documentation available to us has been referenced, and no applicable information was found) and while it's correct either way, the cigar ash tray is more correct... I'm prepping one of each for "correctness" and for utility (the cigar ash tray really isn't that useful if you don't smoke cigars) and the off chance that the cigar ash tray is decided to be somehow not 100% correct.

Dang! That is a nice car! Ours could almost be twins.
Sorry for the delay, finally got some shots of the interior. Not 100% original but close enough..
