Both of which were painted by me  8) The wheel cap was black & 37 years old. Bright Krylon Sun yellow then tons of spray gloss so it won't scratch. The sticker is one of my standard ones. Fit like it was made for it...no bubbles.
You can see the red instrument panel behind the wheel. Also done by me. They look brand new & saved me a three digit # replacing them   spr:

I see Tyke doing this on whatever it is he keeps on cinder blocks.

(Kidding. About the blocks, that is.)

LOL! Yeah, my Mustang, when back on the road, COULD use a cool steering wheel like this! But my purest Mustang friends will kill me if I do that. It's a classic.

Ah...they want you to be all matching #'s huh? The Supermobile has a crate 383 Pushing 425 HP. matching #'s were out the window a long time ago. The rear Bumpers are removed & mine has a embedded spoiler that 75's didn't have. It also has the nose piece off a 78 silver edition. Even Vette Enthusiasts see mine & say "What is it????" Ordered a Red center coulum pad to replace the black one & tie it all together. also have a drink holder coming that will be painted Krylon Sun yellow...and have a red stripe down the middle to match the wheel cap.  :singsong

Pics will come.

yes, my friends want me to get it back on the road and keep it all original (if possible)....but that probably won't happen.

ps: your avatar is AWESOME. wow!

Got the car back today...& have to go right back into the shop in the morning because the Gas Gauge crapped out  doh1 probably because they didn't reconnect it well enough. It had the same problem with the engine temp gauge this morning.  >:(

Once I get it back I'm going to finish trimming out some worn looking interior parts. I did the front of the console today & it came out awesome. Also going to do the new drink holders

Pics coming.

The Cup holder was all rose wood...I made it sun yellow & the stripe is red electical tape. About 5 coats of gloss over it. Same thing with the shroud around the Stereo.
Red Elbow pad arrived just as I was leaving for work :) Touched up a lot of wearing with Black acryllic. came out pretty well

It's been in a constant state of use & restoration for about 6 years...this was the biggest step & the secret of her performance
