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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Restoring it to your liking?

    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.

    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

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    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?
