Sport Steering Wheel Reborn
Yep, this old thing I bought off Ebay about 20 some odd years ago. When it arrived it sure did not look as it did on the WEB. and even this picture makes it look great. Up close this wheel originally had black spokes and the fake leather grip is rough with nicks and other flaws. There was also a lot of rust under the "Spray Bomb" paint job on the spokes. Even the center cap is broken.
So i finally decided to fix this old thing and restore it but with a twist. I do like the looks of the '60's Mustang steering wheels with the wood grip and chrome spokes. So thats the direction I went with....

Now that I have the African Mahogany rip close, I need to restore the spokes before I glue the wood permanently to the steel wheel. I am going back to the "Brushed" effect on the spokes as originally but natural steel spokes, not the black color as this wheel originally was.
