Restoring your steering wheel...

Jul 25, 2003 7 Replies

My steering wheel looks like a dog gnawed on it for awhile. Any tips and tricks in making it look decent? I don't want to have someone else do it, I'm pretty stuck on doing everything myself on this car.



TIA!


Check out the bugshop.

he has "NEW" article under the tech abouth im redoing his steering wheel. I didn't read it, i imagine that its leaning towards vintage, but you should check it out. ~peace~Justin

So does my Batwing wheel. See John Henry's site. This might help:

No buying a new one would be easy and they are way to expensive ... I read the article on Johns site, very helpful.

Thank you John!

Touching up the steering wheel in the '59 is also on my list of priorities. Just another item on a rather long list of important projects!:~)

I have one I'll sell you that I replaced on my car. Here's a picture of it:

'63. The "puff puff pass" was supposed to give it away that I was just kiddin'. You know? puff puff pass....? Maybe I'm too old for this group. Oh, wait...I forgot about people like Timmy and Stafford and even ol' Hoover hang out here sometimes. Maybe I'm not too old after all. :-) I gave Gary (Gareth) my original steering wheel from that car along with some other parts from it like the air cleaner when he helped me out with my first attempt at fixing my clutch. :-) I was just kidding about the steering wheel. So "their." *cough*
