Re: steering column
Wheelbarrow wheel bearings can be used in the end of the column to keep the shaft centered in the tube before installing the u-joint. They are available in several sizes, and are cost effective.

Re: touch up paint for the 53
Our local Carquest store mixes paint and can match paint from a sample. They will put it in a spray can for you. I don't know about mixing from a formula. I believe the formulas are brand specific.

Re: 35-36 with T5
You may want to remove the shifter to gain room to move the tranny back. (Only 4 bolts). They are right on top so you should be able to get to them by loosening the shifter boot.

Re: '32 Roadster reverse eye springs
Zenith Spring made a reversed eye main leaf for my 35. They are in Duluth Mn. I think they charged about $35 two years ago. Great people to deal with.
