No that wheel looks incredible. I was not going to restore mine but I may have to think things over. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

great job,here is a tip the next time you do a steering wheel to make it easier.
1st buy a piece of all thread and some large washers ,put the all thread through the steering wheel and put on washers and 2 nuts,to keep it from spinning off the nuts,then put it in a vice,you can then spin it as you paint it.and get all sides at the same time.
i lucked out and have a leg from a table that i use instead of all thread,but it would be the same.john
