Finished restoring the steering column.... PICS
« on: May 24, 2006 - 10:22:51 AM »
I will post a "how to" or should I say a "How I did it" soon, but I finished it and wanted to thank everyone for the help.  Again, this board made it possible.

Before and after pics....   :thumbsup:

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

It took many many weeks to track down the right texture.  Joe and everyone from this site was a big help.

I will have the detailed "how to" section on the lamopar.com site real soon.

That turned out very nice...when finished, details like a steering column really help the interior pop out :thumbsup:

Thanks 4C.

The www.lamopar.com site is up and going now.  If anyone checks out the "how to" link on there they will see the details on how it was done.

Nice job Cody!!  Looks GREAT!   :drool:
