Steering Column Tube Finish

The correct finish for 1969-1970 Mustang steering column tube that extends into the engine compartment is the same as the steering column inside the car.

That little bit you see in the engine compartment is simply the end of the steering column tube you see inside.A common restoration mistake is to paint this part of the tube semi-gloss black. The inner tube and the steering shaft was natural bare steel (done in phosphate for rust protection in this picture).
