That's a little too much for my taste. I like to keep 'em clean.  |

We kinda felt bad breaking out the air tools. His dash was pretty much un-molested except for the left side of the speedo where some gauges had been in one of those aftermarket panels. Even the radio hole was perfect, block-off plate tabs too!  It is starting to shape up quite nicely though. It will be quite the opposite of yours, simple and clean, less is more approach |

Just for something a little different, what do you think of taking a Nardi wheel and painting the rim a deep black lacquer? It seems everyone has a wood steering wheel these days.

I feel you on this notion, Louis. I have a wood wheel and I am thinking about changing it. Nardi sells leather rapped wheels with a few different spoke options. They look killer. |
