Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel
Ever since I bought my Barracuda the steering wheel cover on it bothered me but I knew it had
to be covering up some cracks. I recently saw a post on FB 67-69 BOG about installing a leather
steering wheel cover. I ordered one in black leather and did the install over the weekend. Sure
enough when I took the old vinyl cover off there were a few cracks. I filled in the 2 I knew I'd be
able feel to feel through the cover and then installed. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. My wheel
was plain black, without the woodgrain look and metal ring so I wasn't planning to restore the wheel
anyway. Very happy with how it came out and less that $20 for the kit.
Also recently replaced all the dash and interior bulbs with LED's, replaced the headlight switch (no more
flickering) and installed new carpets and mats. Next up fixing the rest of the leaks (fixed 3 so far) and
learning how to tune her a little better, runs a little rich and could probably be timed a bit better.
