Replaced the Steering Gear Box
The Steering was wonky.. too much play in the steering column... Would not be able to keep the car stable on the highway.. Too scary.. Narrowed the problem down to the Steering gearbox. 40 years old and was worn as hell.. Even the steering fluid was leaking. So I swapped it out with a BRAND NEW gear box from eBay.

SEAT BELTS!
In an old car like this, safety is pretty much non-existent, save for airplane style seatbelts. These cars didn't come with airbags.Anyways, I bought a nice set of Airplane style Lap belts. Installed them today. Didn't put in the shoulder belt and retractor set. Way too expensive. I wont be driving this car too fast anyways. Had to remove the seats to install the seatbelts. Here are pics of them installed.
