Today I installed a quick release steering wheel. It wasn't a simple bolt in.

Beautiful Car, Would it effect the Value or Integrity of the Cage if the Seat bar was 45 degreed and Doubled to give more room.

The steering column had to be cut about 3/8" for clearance for my fingers to be able to install and release the wheel. The first time I tried it once it snapped in place it almost cut my fingers. The original steering wheel nut that now holds the inner spline on had to be ground down because it did not allow the quick release adapter to go down far enough to snap into place. I bought a 3 bolt release because I already had a 3 bolt to 5/6 bolt steering wheel adapter. They make a 5 hole release but I have a 5 and 6 bolt wheel and wasn't sure which one I would be using. If I had to do it again I would buy the 5 hole and not have the additional 1/2" adapter.

looks cool Rusty. I run Harland Sharp on my circle track engines too. Nice to see the Mustang getting some love.

Whoa I've been off the forums for way too long. Glad to see you've finally started working on her! We will stop by the next time we're in Florida. Hope all is well.

I mean obviously not as comfy as a luxo-barge but how would they compare to a recaro or other quality plastic seat?
