    Steering wheel came back from Craft Customs today. It looks fantastic. I'll post a pic later when I get a chance.

    One thing - it took a bit longer than normal. Carter had to get material from Italy in order to make sure it was right.

    The wheel looks great, I am tempted. After 37 years mine could use a refresh.

    Thanks. Honestly - on the old wheel, I couldn't even tell the stitching used to be white. Plus - it was getting pretty cracked and dry up on top.

    This one looks brand new.

    Update:

    I dropped the seats today with Richie @ Michael Angelo. He could have them done as soon as the 10th, but it's easier for me to get them by the 17th, so that's what we agreed on.

    I appreciate everyone's advice here, but I decided on Richie because I've seen his work, and I've talked to him multiple times.

    I'll post pics when they come back.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention - carbs have been out of the car for a month or so. I sent them down to Pierce Manifolds, and they are going to work me in, even though I don't have a reservation. I don't need them back this summer - but would like them back for fall.

    Finally - pulled the oil filter mount and the sending unit. New sending unit is enroute. I thought about doing Tac Elf's mod, but I think I'll keep the car stock for now.

    Those don't look like seats. Probably pretty uncomfortable to sit on. :)

    Ha. Seats should come back from Richie on the 17th. Don't worry, there will be pics too.
