I got this steering wheel several years ago and redid to for my Pinto. This wheel came from a Pinto ( I think ) since it has the tabs for the horn. Some steering wheels like this come from mustangs and they don't have the tabs for the horn since the horn was on the steering column like a blinker arm. Anyway feel free to comment and let me know if I'm right or wrong or just call me names.

This is about how it looked when I got it. I don't know if it was chrome that got repainted or black that was wearing off.


I sanded the wheel mostly by hand and scrubbed it down with rubbing alcohol to get it ready for primer.

I found a good use for the hood of my corvette, it is the perfect surface for a Ford Pinto Steering wheel.

Tape and primer nothing really exciting here.

The pinto dashboard and steering wheel


This is the pinto dashboard and steering wheel before I began work on it. It is in excellent shape considering the car is about 36 years old. As you can see in the previous posts the car was relatively rust free. The carpet came out is pieces as it had gotten wet many times from a leaky windshield and and drivers side air vent.
