A very nice car indeed..and a lot of work to get it to that level..talking about steering wheels I thought those 2 spoke steering wheels were only offered on 72 and up e bodies.

I have a three spoke steering wheel for the car. However, I'm 6'4" tall and 225 lbs and I had to be a contortionist to get in the car with that wheel. The steering wheel you see is an option for the car and works slightly better for me. :)
I know what you are saying Dave I am lucky to have the optional 6 way adjustable driver's seat this makes a huge difference.

You are correct. Many people use the newer wheel because they like them better. I personally like the tuff wheel due to its' size. It never was an option on an E body (Chryslers' mistake).

I did not know that...all the more reason to ditch the repo tuff wheel on my challenger...I am currently having my original 3 spoke withdrawn wheel restored. I more and more like those wheels....it's a nice contrast to the black interior.

Back in the 80's, when Challengers were just used cars, most wanted the newer style steering wheel over the 3 spoke wheel. I know one guy who had an accident while driving with his fingers in the holes. He has one crooked finger due to it today.
