The originals they bolt up in the exact same spots.I took them apart, painted them, and greased the sides so it would slide easier.The seats also lay ALLL the way back. :wink:

Well it sure has been awhile. I finally got a chance and some nice weather to get this build rolling again. Some updates just making little touches, checking to make sure everything works and replacing old parts. When I installed the original motor mounts it set the engine back to its original position instead of how it was in the black regal main thing was the transmission lines.

Where did you find info on fixing/rebuilding the turn signal cam......mine is wonky it works but it cancel after making the turn with steering wheel.....and yes I do like your build its time to get mine ready for the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour.....

I didn't fix it, I just replaced it with one out of a camaro that was sitting in the junk yard. The steering wheel was already removed and the signal cam was sitting on the dash, couldn't have been any easier. I didn't know but you can buy one at autozone for like $10, part number is 83233. Along with most of those parts in the steering column.
