Anyone have detailed pics of original Tuff wheels?

My uncle owns a steering column repair business here in St. Louis and he has thousands (not exaggerating) of steering wheels hanging from the ceiling of the shop.  Well yesterday my Dad spotted an original Tuff wheel hanging up there.  It is a little rusty, but the horn button & grip are in pretty good shape.  I am really surprised because a few years ago I was looking for a '94 Firebird steering wheel so I could replace a few broken radio control buttons on mine, but I couldn't find any.  Who knew such a good score would be right here in the family?  :2thumbs:

So my question is: does anyone have any detailed pics of original Tuff wheels so we can restore this thing correctly?

Thanks

why restore ? there is no way to correctly restore it unles you cover it on leather with MCB Tuff wheel resto service... but thats not actually a good deal since we have replacements for those on $170 by frederick dodge at ebay.

UNLESS we are talking about just the spokes... well thats a satin brushed finish... maybe if you ask to MCB ppl will give you and advice or the service. They have an ad banner at Moparts.

Thanks for the pic!  It should help.

Nacho, I should have been more specific.  The horn button & grip are in pretty good shape, but the spokes have some rust on them.  I'll have to sand the rust off smooth out the spokes, and put a brushed aluminum finish on it.

Thanks for the help!
