Steve,
Exactly right, man, but...... this is a console car, and the console shifter is way farther away from the pads than a non-console car. My 69 RR was a non-console car, as was a 69 Charger RT I had and same thing: That 2-3 shift was a knuckle buster!
And yeah, for those that don't know, 68-69 lower dash pads were pads. But in 1970, they went to plastic pieces on the Chargers (don't know about other 70 B-Bodys since I've never owned one, but I'd guess the same) and they're a little nicer looking, IMO.
BIG....those are not the same ones as the tail light panel caps, unfortunately. Those are the speed nuts for things like side marker bezels, tail light housings, etc. But hey....don't lose 'em...I may be a callin'!!!!!
So, moving on, an astute person will notice the brake pedal to the floor. That astute person would also notice that I have decided to commit myself to an insane asylum. While I was putting on the steering wheel and laughing at others who may not be at this stage on their project, I had noticed I put the brake light leads on backwards and while down there, I just happened to see a trickle of brake fluid seaping out of the back of the master cylinder. Karma being the thing that she is, and since I just spoke bad about others not being where I'm at on my car, that'll be one major leak running down the firewall to deal with now. Oh, that's just great. So, down comes the column and in doing do, I busted that ever so eloquently engineered, octopus-required crimping tool needed, 18 piece steering column to box joint.....AAARRGGHHH!!!!!!
Cheers
