I bought this off E-Bay a couple of weeks ago. I plan to clean it up and paint it Red and silver. I need some help though!
It's Chevelle steering wheel but I know a lot of people have them in their trucks. ![]() I need to findout where to buy a nice horn button for it. I need the interal's for it also. Any suggestions on where to get the stuff? It has the terminals and wiring to the 2 prongs but nothing in the center is there as u can see in the picture. ![]()

Thanks,
I sure hope so. The only thing I'm worried about is the size of the wheel. Not the over all diameter but the thickness of the wheel. Reason being I have had carpal tunnel in both hands. I've had surgery on both. I like the thickness of the old Covette wheel, but I think this will look tons better. I may try and do something to this wheel to help with it. ![]() ![]()

Well the buddies beep blaster wasn't working so I did the old paint remover and sanding. I think I got pretty good but still not 100% good with it. I think I may try and find a another beep blaster.
Had to get ready for work so I'll post pictures tomorrow I hope. ![]() ![]()

Yea I painted that cooler a year ago and it looks as good today as it did when I painted it. I think it's about $80.00 for a sprayer and the paint & hardner for those 2 colors though but well worth it for the end product.
Should be 1/2 that for just the red I hope. ![]() ![]()

Re: New steering wheel
I like the look of my 3 spoke `67 wheel. But like most, I wish it was smaller. Whats the diameter of the Chevelle wheel. It should look great when ur done.
