- In Episode 120, Part 1 of 2, we tear down a tilt steering column for our 1956 Chevy Bel Air, removing the blinker switch, wiring harness, tilt mechanism, and all the other internals in a full disassembly. We find bad bearings that will need to be replaced, so we prep and paint the pretty parts so that they can be ready for reassembly when the new bearings come in. That'll be Part 2!

Really enjoying this project. The tilt column is a nice touch and makes it nicer to drive. Thanks Bill!
Thanks! I'm used to driving Christine with this set up and it works really well!
one more Step Closer looking good
Yes indeed!
Looks like the column needed to come apart due to the broken bearing.hope the new ones fit.the paint looks nice Bill.
It did, and I had no clue until I cracked it open to clean it!
Luv the attention to detail !! :)
All of the bodywork is labor intensive and takes time, now this stuff is just detailed oriented and takes time. Guess we need a lot of TIME! LOL!
like 45 !
Big thanks!
Don't recognize the column ... good thing you ripped into it ... not sure what primer you used but be careful if it's acid etch because your paint will scratch off easy if it's not ruffed up ... one step closer ...
This primer is compatible with the single stage that I've been using, but the Rust Oleum was TERRIBLE for exactly what you're saying!
