And after all that; the steering wheel wood started separating. Really irritated me. I now bad mouth the wood grant at every opportunity.

I've had quite a few Grants but never a problem like that. Sounds like it wasn't laminated right, but who knows. I haven't bought a Grant since about 2001, so their build quality might have changed since then, has been a few years.

Yea I prefer the '68 wheels too, I have to do some serious work to restore the one I got though, but hey it was the right price (FREE!) so I really can't complain.
