Steering Wheel

I finally found the steering wheel I wanted just a few weeks ago.  It has a 9 bolt pattern which looks the same as the Formuling wheel I took off.  Turns out it was a little different, but I was able to modify the hub to make it fit.  I also had to make an adapter for the horn button.   It took most of the morning, but I love the way it turned out.

Center Console

Tonight I was able to get the speakers mounted and wired into the center console.  I also got the seats and steering wheel mounted again.  Just for kicks, I took it for a short spin around the block.  It has not been tuned yet, so I took it very easy, but it felt good to drive it again after 2 years.  There are a few issues to work out, but nothing serious.

Stereo

The rear speaker tray is cut and mounted.  I have a pair of Polk Audio 5-1/4" coaxial speakers recessed into the plywood to give it a little depth.  I will eventually cover it with the same tweed as the headliner, but I don't have any of the material right now.  There is also a single 10" JL Audio sub under the tray.  Next up is the front speakers.
