scored a deal

  1. well this past weekend my brother and I went to vegas and I lost a portion
    of my ass, however on the way back I stopped in to see a guy with some 'stuff'.
    bought a 66 Shelby steering wheel from him for $750 (asking price). he kept
    telling me how rare the wheel was but I kept asking him to take less, so he
    threw the horn button in but said $750 was it.

    the wheel is near perfect, the wood is beautiful. on the back the horn
    contact pieces are missing, anyone have some good ones to take a picture of or
    sell or does someone have a wheel off the car that I can get you to take
    pictures of the stuff? or is there someone in socal that I can see your wheel?.

    the horn button has the wrong back plate and the chrome is pitted/flaking
    and is likely from a fiat as that is what the horn button says but otherwise it
    is correct. the guy also had a vintage nardi horn button that was the same.
    the plastic was wrong and the back plate was different but the metal trim ring
    and retaining ring was right

    I have some work to do but now there is a start. I have been thinking of
    doing a repo of this wheel so I now have something to copy
