Well against the advice of some smarter than me Pontiac gurus I went ahead and refinished the original wheel.
Jim Kueneman’s impressive steering wheel restoration and his recipe that he was kind enough to share (and a few PM’s he answered) convinced me to give it a shot.
i recently got around to the interior, sound deadening, carpets. Painted dash, AC plenum and tilt wheel column. New dash bezel with new lenses, led gauge lights and new wood grain for bezel.
Needless to say my somewhat decrepit (although original) wheel actually looked even worse with the dash facelift.
I only have pics of it in the dark kitchen. Outside, especially with the top down, the faux “grain” looks nice.
I‘ll have to see how summer heat and sweaty palms work with the shiny finish. I know I can’t stand a shiny finish on the neck of my guitars and usually hit them with 0000 steel wool as my hand grabs otherwise.
Well thanks again Jim. 4E60FDAF-58B5-4366-81A8-D19A66CE26C3.jpeg0A60C7C2-2B2D-4853-AE85-F64FEF7F7375.jpegDD4225D2-813A-44BF-9B6F-C76C7A495079.jpeg2351C2D2-4E65-4727-AF61-3C26BBD690FE.jpeg70899191-EA52-43F6-9B7F-B5F03A42FC5B.jpeg
