Do you think this looks strange?

[comet_666]

Put in my steering column the other day..forgot the steering wheel is green.   
With white/black interior.. I guess I will need to see how it looks after I put seats back in.

You should be able to find a black or wood-grain wheel without much difficulty. Kind of looks like it has seen better days anyway.
Here is a couple resto places.

If you're talking about the horn pad, they repop those.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Everything else looks brand new and spotless...and then you have a beat up steering wheel. I would have it cleaned up or get an aftermarket one.   

[stripedelete]

Are you talking about what appears to be two odometers?

[comet_666]

No, My cluster is the Dakota Digital one. Left is Tach, other is Speedo. They do look similar though 

[myk]

I would've gone with an aftermarket, boy-racer steering wheel from Grant or Momo in order to complement the trick, modernized gauges, but I'm tacky like that...

[Ghoste]

Aftermarket, repop or restore, my money says once you complete the rest of the interior you'll change out that wheel no matter what.

[Dino]

If you're getting another steering wheel, can I have yours?  I'm looking for one of those in need of some loving so I can customize it.   

[myk]

Our timing sucks.  I just threw out my original one a couple months ago...

[Ghoste]

You threw it out?

[myk]

It was in really bad shape-cracked everywhere, couldn't even tell what the original color was supposed to be.  If I had known that Dino would have wanted it I would've sent it to him.

Then again you're talking to the guy that threw out his OEM '69 bucket seats for his Summit race car specials...

[Dino]

Hey stop throwing stuff out!  Us poor guys need it!   

[HeavyFuel]

That kinda stuff makes good garage art.....at least in my garage.   But I'm the kind of idiot that still has the original rusted exhaust pipes stashed in the attic...I don't throw nuthin'.

[Ghoste]

Me too, but its amazing sometimes what you discover you need later.

All of a sudden I don't feel so by myself anymore  

[Brock Lee]

Quite often those woodgrain wheels wore down to a funky green color. Like a brownish/green. The brown/tan dash pads will often get funky wear spots that is the same color.

[squirrel, 69 charger]

It does look a bit strange... but my favorite color mixture is monster energy colors... so if it was different color of green, yes.

whats up on the spectacular gauges?1 can i have yours? where did you get those?make em yourself?

[Kern Dog]

The guages are from Dakota Digital. They are analog in appearance but digital in operation. No speedo cable anymore, just a CAT-5 cable powering up the guages. I had to install a new oil pressure and water temp sender and they include a speedometer sending unit that attaches where the cable attached at the transmission. I'm not very adept at electrical stuff but I was able to get these installed and working.
LOVE mine!

[Audiguy]

I like the Dakota Digital Setup. May have to rethink restoreing my cluster. Thanks.

[miller time]

Steering wheel cover, and if anyone asks your preserving the original 
Also myk, I'll give you my address and you can throw things away to my house

That's a 'beaut for sure; good work on the install.

As for throwing stuff out; there's nothing original left to throw away asides from the frame and the sheet metal lol...

Oh that's OK, I'm an equal opportunity kind of guy, frame sheet metal, engines NOS parts, reproduction, even brand new just order things to my house and I'll "toss" them in the pile for ya, you know because I like ya, don't tell anyone though they may get jealous I don't do it for them
