Default New steering wheel.

Well, today I broke down and bought a new steering wheel. The old one was in horrible shape, and it was too big. I could barely get in and out of the car. I will post more pictures when I get the gauges in. I am waiting on a voltage regulator for the gauges.

Hey Tyler, are you going to repair that butchered radio hole?

Also, how do you plan to correct the overspray of the red on all the parts that don't need red overspray?

Damn, next time I take a pic of my interior I'll make sure it's in ship shape condition. [8D]

Yeah, when you come on here and ask opionions or show pictures, you are going to get comments. That's a fact of life on here, and it is certainly not meant for negativeness, it is meant for constructive criticism.

I personally like the green towel covering the flip-flop? And the sandwich baggie on the passenge side. I like the dash panel the best though. I really like that stealth look.

Dude,
that steering wheel is total 70s. I had one in my '65 Fairlane. Very cool. Just need the big N50/15s on the back, skinnies up front, all on American Racing 5 spokes, and some glass packs to round it out. And one of those air freshner trees hanging from the rear view mirror. You'll get a lot of conversations started from old farts like me.

Snag your girl friends nail polish remover, especially if it has the lemon scent. It will take the overspray off quickly without hurting anything else. The lemon scent helps cover the paint fumes while it's curing too.
Looks like you are making some good progress. Keep at it!
