More $$$$ Goes To The 442!!

I just couldn't help myself(again) & went ahead & bought Fusicks H/O dash trim & a new walnut wheel for my '68. The real wood really dresses up the interior plus it's just on with double face tape so no damage was done to the dash!! I never liked the fake walnut "bus size" wheel that my car came with. I'd thought about buying a repop '70 up 4 spoke wheel but I found a nice real wood 3 spoke wheel from Tracey corvette that's a smaller 15" diameter plus it's a little flatter. It uses the standard GM 6 screw pattern, so the stock hub & horn button work.. The wheel matches the dash wood nicely but it's glossier than the dash & the camera flash makes it look a lot lighter. I bought another smaller 14'' wheel earlier but I didn't like it, too small for my taste. I put a pic up of it(the one without the dash wood)If anyone's interested in it, pm me. I paid $85 for it,make me an offer. It to uses all the GM hardware but it's just the wheel only.

Looks great, I have the similar much older wheel in my car although not as glossy.
