If you're gonna home-game the paint, look into rolling it on. I've seen some pretty impressive results with some thinned Rust-Oleum on a well prepped surface.

I'd say continue on with what you're working on but if you just want to verify spline type, seems like ordering an inexpensive aftermarket steering wheel adapter from a place that takes returns might be a good play.

That's a pretty good idea. I just spent a couple minutes looking up Grant adapters since they're kind of the go-to for old American iron. According to their application list, part 3294 is for a '66 Club Wagon (Econoline). According to Summit, this adapter should work for these applications: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRT-3294/applications. So that would suggest that all of those have the same steering shaft diameter/spline count. Makes sense to me, at least.

Looks like you need some welding sleeves my man.

Once you finish up your body prep (you're a braver man than I), what's plans for color? Back to that metallic orange?

Ordered. Thank you!

Yes, it’ll be as close to the current metallic orange as I can get. Current candidate is KIA metallic orange.

I’d like to paint the roof white/pearlescent white.

Right on. I really like a good orange. Chevy's got a pretty good one on the new Camaros, too - Vivid Orange Metallic. Their Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic (C6 Vettes) was good too.

Fly. As. Hell.

Was all the lettering blue from the factory or was that a personal touch? Either way, whole drat thing looks great.
