I, too, like the color combination and the coordination with the rest of the interior. Very nice, Mark.

The wheel is one of the later rubber ones with fake stitching.


Stay tuned for pics of mine. Dallas Custom stitched it for $249.00. Same thing Mark has and I couldn't be happier with the feel. They overlaid the leather over the stout foam. Perfect feel.

Looks good Mark. You need more cup holders between the seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yup, you can never have enough cup holders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'm trying to find velcro that will hold one of the Octopus ones in place, but nothing is working, so I'm using the "stuff it between the seats" thing for now. I knew I should have finished cleaning out the car before taking pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I have a factory leather wrapped wheel, I want to get it over-wrapped.

Looked at that this spring. Tried to find leather. Got costs etc. Decided my time was worth more and I probably don't have hours to stitch away and have it end up looking like crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I shipped my wheel off Saturday when i left on vacation. Don at Dallas Custom Steering wheel had it back on my front porch last Thursday. Excellent workmanship (just don't ask them to finish the spokes for you... do that in advance.)

(sorry for the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) Mark)

Yeah, looks great! I'm guessing you found out the hard way about refinishing the spokes?

Yeah. Dallas Custom was very nice. I called in advance and asked if they could perform this service. They stated "yes, it would be an additional $50.00." I thought that was reasonable if it was a proper refinish. It turned out to be 150 grit and a rattle can. Don was very cool about my concerns and he understood and immediately reversed the charge.

While I didn't really want to repaint it myself, I was forced to. I sanded everything down, used the 3M blue tape and was able to slide it under the yoke tabs. I used 600 grit and applied 3 coats of semi-gloss, sanding after each coat. I "may" finish it off with some 0000 steel wool, maybe not. It looks good as is... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Thanks again to Kelly and Mark Heard for the wheel and center piece.

That looks awsome. If I was going for an authentic look I would be doing that in a heartbeat.
