Power steering or manual ?

 

[RedFish]

Power steering is a must have with smaller diameter wheel. Shortening the signal arm is a good plan too.

I saw a steering wheel in a thread here on FABO I just loved the other day =P~.....I can't find the post......Still looking.

Have a tuff wheel on the Demon, but don't think it will cut it w/ manual steering....:read2:

15'' For sure, I don't have a pic, but I've had both in my dart, and definaetly prefer a larger wheel.

Hey Redfish:
what kind of wheel is that and is that elm burl?

The wheel is Jet brand. It has a momo bolt pattern so there's an adapter hub behind it. The hard part was placing the original horn button center in it.
The burlwood is Avery products vynil laminate (sign material). Its not an exact match to the wheel but close enough.

First I didnt say how much I liked the job you did. I like it so much that I am now reconcidering the face material of the new console. It will be a large sweeping console that was either going to have a face of stainless or of aluminum. Your added touch of color and class has made me reconcider. I think it looks really classywith the black interior. The purests out there will hate what Im going to do anyway, so I dont give a rats. As it happens I am an avid woodworker and happen to have a number of book matched panels of various burl veneers, elm, ash, walnut. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks. The deluxe burlwood interior was used with red, white, etc.. and it looks good with the black. In my eye it looks best with the beige (sandle wood ?) color vynil.
I saw a sample of a red burlwood that looked a little like fire. Thought it might look good with white vynil. Dunno where it could be bought though .
You can't beat Averys vynil . The stuff has been in my car almost 4 years and still looks new.
I've already bought a roll of their brush aluminum to do the lower section of my instrument panel. Match the steering wheels spokes.
