SS Build Question?

I could be wrong, but an aftermarket steering column might be frowned upon. Removable steering wheel is ok.

Steering column has to look stock and be stock length.

Thank you guys for your response. I agree with all of you. But, I have seen and there are pictures available to anyone of what I am talking about being built/raced. I have seen a questionable steering column in a Hemi car. I have seen questionable pedals in a new mustang that just won Best Eng. also a transmission tunnels that looks really Big. I know when I have spoken to some tech people and they have refereed to the rule book, rightfully so, but then there is a car right behind them with these very things done? I want to update my fathers car here soon and I want to make some improvements so I am looking for clarification to what I have seen vs. the rule book. Is there a "Understanding"? A unwritten rule but some chassis shops have a letter stating what's legal?

Get a rule book and follow it.

The only scenarios in which pedals go on the floor are if they come that way from the factory or it's a front wheel drive conversion. Removable trans tunnel limited to a total of no more than 6 square feet. Steering column must be stock appearing and stock length.

Just because you see something in someone else's car doesn't mean it's legal in yours. Don't get cute with the sanctioning body unless you like sitting on the sidelines with empty pockets.
