be carefull using the bog at night like that, the metal shouldnt be cold to touch, the bog shouldnt really need much heat to cure it, unless its winter i use upol cool-it to retard the curing time so it doesnt start to cure before i get it all on and into shape.
you dont want moisture in the air to get in or the metal to rust, the only ways to remove rust are with sandblasting or acid, rust can form on the metal in the night air in half an hour or less so you need to treat it with acid just before you bog and get any moisture of the panel with metho on a rag, especailly at night when moisture from rinsing of the acid wont dry.
by the looks you know what you are doing and your metal work is probably alot better than mine but the night at this time of year isnt the best for bog, i plan on doing a bit soon in the garage with the door shut and a bunch of supercheap
your desk layout looks the same as mine but mine has bulleit cans on it and my steering wheel is now in my room.
flas off-

flash on

my steering wheel is white pearl over a white base with a bullet in the centre.

my colum is EJ , i was kicking myself after leaving a fully recoed one a year ago at a swap meet for $6o, mine is a auto one with its holes filled, i still need to wire it and find a nice chrome indicator stalk for it but its also painted in the white / white pearl as is the dash fascia, i had some probs like rain in the paint and went a little heavy with the pearl fixing them and overpowered the white so the dash especailly almost looks gold

its not collapsible, its just a six and is kind of only a 179.
i guess you would have to find a colasible colum the same length roughly as ej-eh.
