66DNA Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 In efforts to create a look as similar to the '66 GT 350 as possible...I sprang for a custom made wooden steering wheel.

IMHO, it looks incredible! Larry B) Its not slippery at all. It is a "core exchange" program (although I elected to keep my stock leather-wrapped wheel for obvious reasons) whereby they'll give you back $200. for sending in your existing wheel. I'm not overly thrilled with the quality of the wheel they sent me however. Mine, being a brand new car, had absolutely no nicks or scratches. The one they sent is not "perfect" upon close examination. I think that I will send them a letter to express my feelings. But overall, it is pretty cool! My mission has been - and will be - to emmulate the 1966 GT 350. Can't wait for my vanity plate - which will read: 66DNA Will upload photos the day it arrives! Then, once I officially import my car into British Columbia, I'll apply for "BC" plates of the same message. (I married a Canadian last year and she's sponsoring me to become a permanent resident of Canada - which will take several months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to Portland this Thursday...taking the family (so its the SUV versus the SGT!) then off to San Francisco for a few days. I'll most likely be in Portland the week of August 13-18 however. If you are going to be in town...I'll drive her down and we can meet up for coffee or something. -Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riharely Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Todd the steering wheel is PERFECT. I love the rivets, so GT350! I know my next addition to the Shelby. It really stands out in the interior. Quick where's my credit card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66DNA Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 AWOL gas cap? Show me where! In all truth, the one remaining thing I want to do (which should not cost more than the can of paint itself) is to remove my new front upper grille assembly and rattle-can those two silver posts (that you can see way too much) a matte black. In my post I added a picture of my car below the new steering wheel photos. You'll be able to see what I am speaking of if you look closely (right behind) at my front CS8 grille. Those two silver posts really bug me! I think by painting them black would do the trick? Any ideas for me anyone? Thanks! ...and thanks for all of the nice compliments on the new steering wheel. This all is quite fun! I've been definately "bitten." Todd the steering wheel is PERFECT. I love the rivets, so GT350! I know my next addition to the Shelby. It really stands out in the interior. Quick where's my credit card! I really love the rivets too. Although they are truly only painted-on and then covered with varnish! I wish they had been real metal rivets! My new CS8 upper grille assembly...new Razor rims...and of course, the hood scoop - (now steering wheel) all have the "rivet look" going on. I love aiming for this sort of consistency!

Webba Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Todd can you post a straight on pic of the grill area you are asking about? I can see a little of it from the side. IMO from what I see I dont think it looks bad. In fact Im thinking possibly if you had the posts painted the silver of the stripes it may look good. And the steering wheel looks awesome! I dont know what the small issues with it are but from those pics it looks perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
