      I've run into something that is beyond my meager capabilities. I want to smoothly join the steering wheel column with the speedometer housing like in the photos. It's a lot of angles and curves and whatnot, and my efforts have been less than acceptable. I don't want somebody to do it for me, I just want some advice on how to best get it done right. I can provide more reference photos if needed, and I've attached the model file in case that would help. Any help would be much appreciated.

          Thanks for the input. But it still doesn't blend smoothly with the model, that's the part I'm having problems with.

            If you wan it to blend smoothly you must make it an entire piece from the ground up. .
