Racing steering column? Bought or home made?

[BlueGhost93]

Hey guys. So in my 64 falcon I want to make or buy a racing steering column for functionality as well as looks. I know chassisworks makes a really expensive (but nice) one at around $500 but im wondering what else is out there? Has anyone made their own?

The end goal is to have a quick release hub with a 6 bolt pattern for a driven brand steering wheel. I also want to get the hub anodized dark purple or be something like this http://getnrg.com/products/quick-rel...-2.0/srk-200pp

Any help is greatly appreciated. Im not against making my own but need some guidance on how maybe someone else made theirs.

Here's a link to a home made column which is pretty detailed. You can either salvage the shaft out of an OEM column or they're available on Ebay. If you use a Double D shaft it can be cut to whatever length you require. Either way you should drill a slight depression where your set screws contact the shaft. It helps keep things together if a screw loosens, at least long enough to find and correct the issue. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gener...lumn-pics.html
