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???

Rick, I noticed that you cut out the seal with an exacto knife. Here is something that I found very interesting and might save you a lot of time, and make higher quality parts too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hejUzvfGuY8&t=286s
My wife actually got one of these for Christmas. I had found this video a few weeks earlier and I was excited when I found out she was getting one. When I mentioned how useful it would be to me she got that attitude and said that I would not be using it.

I restored the steering column intermediate shaft months ago but thought now would be a good time to post it since I restored the column. The shaft was in pretty rough shape. Somewhat rusty and collapsed from the accident so I had my work cut out for me. I disassembled the entire shaft, determined the finishes that were originally on it, media blasted it and the restored it. I had to reinject the plastic into the shaft after determining the correct length. The original owner has sprayed a lot of the engine compartment with black spray paint so much detective work was used to determine what was original and what was spray canned. After that was done it was all finished and reassembled.

I have never had to replace one of these so I never checked. I have to believe these would be fairly simple to find however. If you need one i can check my parts bin when i get to the shop and see if i have an extra, just let me know.
