And another cool score from the Squarebody Syndicate crowd. Some killer artwork for the garage...

Lastly, the seat fabric and vinyl from SMS finally arrived, going to pull the seat in a few days and get it over to Blue Line interiors and hopefully have that panel patched up...

Nice steering wheel, by chance where did you find it? By chance is it sticky? (i guess those wheels were prone to getting sticky as they age, I know mine is a little sticky - I haven't tried the best "fix" yet on mine).

I bought it off a guy on Instagram. His handle is C10Unlimited.

He lists parts from time to time. I received the wheel a few days ago but haven't had the time to mount it. When I pulled it out of the box it was not sticky at all, but it was also pretty cold out, I know when it gets hot or humid they can get a little gummy. Seller did caution to clean using ONLY warm water, no harsh cleaners or detergents... If it does end up being sticky I'm not opposed to adding one of these



I know it's not OEM, but I feel it falls into the category of "period correct upgrade" And I HATE getting the sticky black gummy crap on my hands.

I keep an eye out in the for sale section on here, they come through from time to time, a few passed by earlier this year. I held off because of the high price ($200+) but after a while I realized that's pretty much the going rate, unless you can score one in a junkyard.

There's a handful of threads on here about how to clean them or keep them from going gummy, but from what I've read it doesn't seem like anyone's found an absolute fool proof method...
