Joe: yes, it is a GM column. Mid-eighties Sunbird. By the time and effort to get and cost to rework to A & C instructions, I could have bought an Ididit or Flaming River unit. They cost a bout $325.00. It is one area I wish I did not follow their manual. This was my first effort in building a car. Very much the novice. Roscoe and others were a big help, plus without my engineering degree and classes in electricity, I am not sure I could have done it. I am very mechanical but sometimes you are in a hurry to get done and such. S**T Happens. Every winter there is time to make changes and add things on. Just to give you an idea I have about $38k invested and many man hours. But the feeling you get from stepping on the gas and the looks from people there isn't much better. The feeling of accomplishment the moment you drive out of the garage for the first time is great.
Did you try to contact Pete Clark at Fast Times rods yet? Have him fax you a list of his kit. Prices are very competitive. Pete is the dark haired guy in the A & C ads in the magazines rubbing on the yellow rod. Pete also use to weld all the frames for A & C. He is also very knowledgeable about building the kits.
Have fun.
