Jim; I bought the column off Ebay. It is a tilt GM A-body column I think from the mid 60's. It worked out okay, but has external tilt controls and directionals that I don't like. If I had it to do over, I would go with a Flaming Rver or I Did It column and spend the extra money. I can't remember the brand of steering wheel (maybe Grant), but I bought it from Summit Racing and it did come with an adapter. Rono.

Rono, Your steering wheel looks great on your 56. IS that on a stock column? If so what is the make of the wheel and what adapter did you use? Thanks, Jim

Haneline did have a couple of engine turned patterns if I remember right. I chose the smaller pattern. The panels have adhesive backing and I've had them installed for about 3 years now with no problems. If you want more than just the dash insert, you have to furnish them with the cardboard templates to go completely across the dash. Rono

Rono It looks like Haneline is a good outfit to deal with. Your pict of gauges and engine turned stainless convince me that this is what should be in my 56 Club! I sure hope I can resurrect it again - Thank You, Bob

Who did the stainless for you? I've been wanting to do the same thing to my 56 dash since I've owned it. Looks great. Chuck in NH

They make the same setup for the '57 dash--if I remember right they offer 2 or 3 different turned design patterns. "RONO" how are they applied ( do they come with a stickybacked adhesive on backside or ?). Also, how long have you had them installed,and how are they holding up? KID

Rono Glad to hear you had a good experience with Haneline. I am very interested to see a pict of the gauges and the engine turned material in your 56. I always wanted to do my 56 Club Sedan with the engine truned alum like the T-birds but could not find it. Sooo I glued a wood laminate over the flat areas of inst cluster, radio and glove box. It really shoud be re-done with the Engine Turned Alum to fit the time period. Thanks -Bob

I'm not hearing anything negative so their quality can't be bad. Maybe I will go ahead and get it. I have until Monday to decide. Got some pics, Rono?
