Got the temp registration for the 50 GMC yesterday, just have to bring it back for the famous Connecticut "VIN: check. I'm not worried since the block number matches the VIN on the Title. Still I ahve the same feeling I have at the Drs when I hear the snap of the rubber glove

Anyway even though it was raining I took it out for a spin. Discovered several minor leaks in the windshield but since it is garaged and I do not plan to drive it in the rain I am not too concerned.

The ugly surprise was the black junk that came off of the steering wheel all over my hands and clothes (I'm a "big" guy) from the parts of the steering wheel where the paint was gone.

I goggled around for a cover but could not find one large enough. Anyone have any suppliers in mind for a stock wheel cover? Or, can the wheel be painted? If so any sp0ecial type of paint?

Thanks

Carl
