Let me steer your attention in here for a second...

[quickdodge®]

Picked up a new steering wheel today. Got a Grant Classic GT wood wheel and slapped it on there. It's a bit smaller than the factory wheel which allows for more leg room for me. I have a wood shift knob on the way now. Later, QD.

looks really good in that car! Love the cvcc!

[Mantooth]

You just can't keep your hands off of "wood", can you?

[Sol-Badguy]

Nice.

[allout13]

I've always loved the look of woodgrain in a car.
:goodjob:

[RBS]

cool

[csmiths]

i thought you were selling the car?

[quickdodge®]

I decided to keep it a while back. Later, QD.

[csmiths]

werd smart choice

[DunDunSkeert]

Sick stereo man! Where did you get it?

[Stormhammer]

Nice! So, you're gonna be sporting a wood knob now eh?

[FasTech]

Always keeping it G, QD.

[VooDooXII]

Nice! Fits beautifully with the rest of the car.

Dammit, now I'm going to have to come up with a new title for when I install my steering wheel. :ninja:

[MINI]

Ew, I hate woodgrain shit on cars.

[Me86Rob]

BALLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR STATUS

[Da_unknown]

[roscoe]

Wood=Win

[topsecret2JZ]

you should get new seats

[TSiFTW]

Nice wheel but Holy rear view mirror. I need one of those, I could see everything.

[quickdodge®]

I was going to, but the people that were going to redo them closed shop (I guess). So now the search is on for a good, low price upholstery shop. Later, QD.

I love the steering wheel, but I feel it clashes HARD with the dash. if you could find out what kind of wood or find the same color and get the dash replaced with it, it would look a lot sexier. True, it's not 100% oem.

[punkr6]

stock wheel and rear view mirror would be nicer..IMO, I'm glad you decided to keep it though.

You need all the help you can get when you drive a go-kart on public roads lol

[BKgen®]

Looks damn good, mike.

[slow_hatch]

I love wood steering wheels, that one looks good there. I was eying a Momo wood wheel when I had my EF. :(

LOL. I'd drive the shit out of an old school Honda though.

[bloodline]

I thought of that as well, but what you don't see is that there is quite a bit of shades of the same wood mixed in with the dash wood grain. Later, QD.

Make sure to treat for termites year round! :goodjob:

What are your plans? I don't really understand this build. Why this platform and etc?

Restoring it to your liking?

[bigs]

Doesn't match the wood dash color. Looks out of place.

Hell, you have a golf cart rear view mirror in there, i'm sure out of place is the least of your worries.

[quickdodge®]

Restoring it to your liking?

Of course I'm putting it to my liking. Who else would I be putting it towards? I saw your first comment.

Doesn't read very well \/ \/ \/

Hmmm. The less knowledgeable are so easy to spot. Later, QD.

To YOUR liking instead of OEM specs you fucking cunt.

I know what your talking about with the leg room, ever sat in a starion? i guess your honda has the same tiny leg room. if your over 5ft 5in ya don't fit!! and if i remember... your kinda tall so thats gonna still be tight

Yeah, lolol, 6' 1." And this thing has a lot less room than the Starion, but yeah this helps tremendously. Later, QD.

I just ordered this wheel as I am going to try to more closely match the dash. I think this will suffice.

What do you guys think?

Later, QD.

[00 blk G20t]

yeah, that one looks lots better.

That is definitely an improvement, should look much better.

i'm glad i read before i posted a question. i know its a long haul, but there is a place down here that did a good job on my friends recaro that he had gotten done custom for his teg..before it got stolen

[quickdodge®]

yeah, that one looks lots better.

That's what I was thinking. It should be here within the week. I'll get pics then of it. Hopefully Summit will take back this wheel. Later, QD.

Not only is it a closer match for the wood, but i think it looks more period correct. Just my 2.6 cents

What happened to this? Did QD finally eat his words?

[quickdodge®]

What happened to this? Did QD finally eat his words?

No ma'am, I didn't. I stand by them as what I said rings true. But I don't mind suggestions or well-put opinions on things. And I'm for trying something out that some offers up if I can. Have a good rest of your day. Later, QD.

[AnthonyF]

I like that one a lot more Mikey. :goodjob:

-Ant.

[quickdodge®]

Pictures of the new wheel in the car. I do like this one better because the other had a depth of about 3 1/2" extending out while this one sits pretty much flat against the column. I will be modifying the Grant GT on the horn button to put my original Civic horn pad in its place. Later, QD.

[boostedb16]

i still cant get past the wink mirror. i used to have one of those in my old 78 chevy luv back when i was 16. talk about seeing everything. steering wheel goes good with your car.

[Dirty Octopus™]
