Personalization

I hope it is obvious that I love originality and strive to keep Miss April full of original parts.  However, there comes a point where this is my car to drive and I want it to have my "touch".  One thing I really liked about my last car was the steering wheel that I had Bruce Crawford make.  It looked wonderful and a vintage feel to the grip while driving.  I thought it was a thing of beauty.
I have a very very nice black plastic rimmed original steering wheel, and despite telling myself that it would keep the car looking the same as it did the day it left factory, the wheel just misses the personal feel that I really want for MY car.

​So, look at what arrived in the mail yesterday! 

Time to sell the nice black plastic original steering wheel.

I love it. I plan to send my wheel this winter out to So. Cal to Autobahn Interiors, to Tony Garcia, who did my seats, and have him match the leather on the seats and cover the black plastic steering wheel. Driving it this summer, I realized that I miss the grip of a leather wheel and the look too.
Go for what you want, it IS your car.
Your personalization so far has been in the details you have attended to, this is well worth while Paul.
