Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

Super job Rick! Since you asked, my KC car had a blue insp. mark on the clutch pedal, and a purple daub on the upper brake pedal. Appears all else is exactly as you've pictured.
On the column, those aluminum washer inserts that have the yellow crash indicator thingys, did you squirt something in there or use a yellow paint? Asking because if I was to assume, I'd say they were filled after the column was installed to get the position correct. I've seen that yellow mold spew out between the aluminum washer and the metal bracket. Didn't know if there was anything available to duplicate this???

The yellow injected plastic was actually used to hold the shim mounts in place and designed to break loose in case of an accident. When I restored them I heated them up and pushed the plastic out, restored the complete unit and then injected hot melt plastic back into them to hold them. I then had to paint the yellow over the plastic as I could not find yellow hot melt. These were originally injected as a unit before they were installed on the column.
