My 1971 LS Swapped Pro-Touring Project

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it

 

Trying to find a new steering wheel now, I like the 71-72 style wheel but I need something a little more comfortable to grip. Plus this will is about 15" dia and almost touching my lap..I could stand to go a little smaller.

I wanted something that looked like it could have came with the car new but there isn't very many options out there.

I was looking at momo wheels, but figured out you need a combination of a grant to GM adapter and momo to grant...basically two adapters to make it all work. And there's wheels are expensive enough.

Soooo

I was looking a two Grant wheels, My favorite is the 452 club sport. It looks like a knock off of the momo wheel I was looking at.




But the most important thing is the chrome rings built into the wheel, they look similar to the rings on my shifter handle



I know it's weird, but these are the little details I look at when trying to match to my interior.

My only issue is that the wheel is 13.5" and I scared that might feel a little too small, seems like a 14" wheel would be a better fit

Keizer has one on his car

 

I went ahead and ordered that wheel lol, couldn't wait. What I ended up doing was getting the one peice black billet grant installation kit versus the cheaper steel multi kits kits they sell.

I'm gonna take cue from a lot of GM vehicles and trans am, my plan is to paint the horn button black or cover in smooth black vinyl. And add a grant "camaro" script in the center. Usually these wheels were vinyl or leather rim, silver or black spokes and the horn button is the same color as the rim material.

My goal is to make the steering wheel look less aftermarket and more of something that could have came in my car or at least follow the theme I have.
