I Ditched Stock Camaro Steering Column Mount - Here’s Why

[@stevensmallwood2231]

I look forward to your videos. I am very close to the same stage that you are at on my '69...I have learned so much and have used several of your ideas and applied them. I have had mine on my rotisserie for the last 9 months, hopefully will be priming the undercarriage and interior in the next week or two. Thank you for the detailed videos!

Thanks so much! Very appreciative of your comments and support! Glad to hear your build is going well. I’m racing to get the firewall and transmission hump finished so I can weld the floor assembly in. I need to epoxy everything too before the summer.

[@Kuhlhaus]

Looks really good! Welding it to the DSE bracket will really stiffen up the area too - bonus!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks! You bet. Wait till you see what I’ve got cooking for the trans hump!!! 🤣

Awesome. Good job Paradise

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Much appreciated! Thanks.

That's a slick setup! I plan on using my stock tilt steering column, but after seeing this I may change my mind.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks. I had a standard, column shift column that I needed to ditch and really wanted the tilt unit to make life easier! 😂 Hope you saw the shout out at the end? Thanks for the pic. 🍻

[@ElrodsGarage]

@@ParadiseBayCustoms Thanks for the shout out! Just let me know if there's anything else you want to see.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

@@ElrodsGarage You bet. 👍

[@ParadiseByDesign]

Nice detail!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

[@GoGoGarage]

Nice and clean way of doing that.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks! I had a standard column shift unit that I wanted to ditch. Saw no need to keep the factory mount. One decision leads to another. 😁

I have a 1967 Camero SS stripped and in good shape. No motor or transmission. The inside is stripped down to the metal and no dash. It's a blank canvas so I'm watching every single video you post. I'm looking at doing a complete "restomod" job on this car. LT5 with either an 8 or 10 speed automatic transmission. I'm learning a LOT from watching your videos. Please keep posting and when I finally get to the point where I can move my Camaro into the shop and start on it I will be posting videos as I go. Working on a 1978 Corvette right now so I've gotta get that project done first.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

How cool! Nice to hear. Look forward to seeing your 67 project progress. I’ll be back on mine in September. I have my next video almost done - a bit more work to complete and edit before I can post it. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🍻

Woot Woot! I got a shout out! p.s. I have an Ididit column to install too...

[@patrickmerriman2952]

Looking forward to the next video. When might that be?

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

3/4 done and edited. Couple weeks. Thanks for commenting and watching - both much appreciated.

[@stevensmallwood2231]

As always...a very well thought out and described video, great work. Which Ididit steering column did you go with?

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Went with their tilt unit for the ‘67, bare metal. Will paint it out to match colour and sheen of interior... Some day! 😂

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks!

[@dayslife]

Nice mod ! these attachment screws seem really tinny ? .

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks. Agree - they are. The rings and the ball have a tight machined fit/tolerance, don’t think there’s a lot force trying to separate the assembly given the column is fixed at 2 separate points. Will see how much flex is there when the firewall gets welded up. Not thinking much. 🤔
