I'm trying decide whether to ditch the aftermarket Grant on my Daytona replica and go with one of my stock steering wheels, but none of them grab me, what give the best stock look on a modified car anyway, I'll post my options after this pic of what I have.

I'm  going to say go with a stock wheel.

Thats just what I think personally. Then again, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

THE CHARGER PUNK

is that a 70 e-body pistol grip shifter on an automatic console?

jmanscharger

Charger Punk that is another story... actually I believe that is a 4sp console with a b&m shifter and a pistol grip handle...what do you think of the steering wheels?

that last one is an e-body steering wheel a buddy had one in his 72 340 cuda

i'd go with the tuff wheel but i like that look  ;)

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

I'm going with this Grant in my 3rd gen.


terrible one

I say either the Grant wheel that you've got in there or a Tuff wheel.

mopar_madman

factory style, tuff wheels are my fave, grant makes one that's similiar, after market the one you have is cool or maybe a nice woodgrain would look cool.

I say go with the factory style woodgrain:

*"We normally wouldn't use a 383 for this build, parts and labor for a 440 cost the same."
