Default Just Ordered D-bottom wheel!!
Just placed my order with John for one of his gorgeous D-bottom steering wheels! This counts as my first major mod. (did jacking pucks and chrome bar vinyl cover) Very excited and can't wait! Thanks John!

Stock horn pad for me too. Had some ideas for the bezel. Actually Doc Holiday's thread was what pushed me...and my wife gave me a wad of cash for our 20th anniversary. I will post up pics soon!
