LOL yeah, that wheel bugs me a bit, but I'm living with it for a little while longer. I've got other priorities to handle before spring. Notice the scattered primer all over my rockers? My last full exterior paint was in the late 90's, but it is still in 99% excellent condition. And believe it or not I managed to replace my floors and frame rails and install weld-in integrated subframe connectors over this past couple years, while disturbing very little paint and body work on the exterior panels. But it does need some paint, like the entire rear body, and lower quarters and rockers where I welded in. Those are all in scattered stages of temporary rattle-can primer, and need to be properly blocked/primed and then shot with color and blended in to the rest of the car...but I'm not doing a complete repaint so it should be a fairly easy, just waiting for a body shop buddy to get a booth available for a weekend so we can shoot it in sterile environment, hopefully within the next couple months. That's #1 priority, along with some minor mechanical issues like a carb and disbributor rebuild/replace as needed. So that's my focus for the next couple months, after which I desparately just want to drive and flog it all summer long (something I haven't been able to really do in a LONG long time...this car hasn't been roadworthy for over a decade, but I finally got it there this past mid-summer and enjoyed it some before the snow flew), and I probably will attend a few Goodguys events. But I can easily see fixing that steering wheel next winter...

I also might just seek out an inexpensive used Grant wheel or something for short term, so I can drive the car while fixing the factory wheel. Then I can do it anytime I choose. We'll see...
