    59 Steering Column / Tube Interior Paint Distance

    Hi there.

    I just finished rebuilding my 59 steering box and need to know how far down I should paint my interior color on the steering tube.

    My technical guide and judging manual states "column assembly is gloss interior color extending at least several inches below hub (remainder of column is black to steering gear)".

    Can anyone define "several inches below hub"?

    I don't want to paint it too far or come up too short...

    Thanks for your help.

    The red paint on the column was applied at St. Louis

      Thanks Bill, especially for the picture! This is a GREAT help!

      Now, if our weather would cooperate, I could finish my painting today...but it looks like it's going to have to wait...our humidity is too high (98%) and everything is so wet outside so I know the paint won't lay down quite right. I'll definitely have to work on other things inside today (maybe installing my gauges in my painted gauge cluster)...always something to work on so I get that much closer to finishing my project.
