Are you selling your old steering wheel by any chance?? I think it looks very good except for the cup holder, did you make the peices yourself or was it a kit?

Old Steering Wheel

The old wheel is a Grant Collector's Edition. Black leather grip, polished black anodized aluminum 4 spoke Dual Plane design with billet horn button trim ring. 14" diameter, 3-3/4" dish including styling sleeve.
GRA.1160. I think I got the last one on the planet.
I'm willing to trade it for a nice 82-84 Trans Am console knee pad and a set of GM black door cup holders with mounting screws and screw covers.
Any takers?

I have been trying to make some overlays for my dash with aluminum sheets but, i have been having a hard time getting the shapes precise and coming up with a way to finish the surface, I like what you have. Can you give us a link to the place you bought your kit?
