As promised here is a picture of my restored steering wheel. I have a bit more polishing to do on the ring and center. Not perfect, but acceptable for my car.

I'm sure I'll be needing something else before this project is complete,and it's great to know I got a fabulous support group here for ideas, knowledge, and, of course, parts. I know I said earlier in this thread that I have been researching and planning this project for a long time, but I forgot how long it has actually been. I bought the steering column and shift lever from John back in 2012 and I got the passenger side mirror bracket from Reg well before that. It has been a long road which makes it feel so good to see it finally coming together. As I think back on it, I've been following this forum for at least 13 years. When I first joined it was Gerald (GTK), Don Coatney, Blue Skies and a few others who were leading the way and teaching the rest of us. Now, I am seeing some of us who learned from them beginning to help others. And so it goes. Thanks again for your support. I am truly honored to be a part of this great vintage Mopar community. Attached is a rendition of my 1949 Dodge Pilothouse Woodie with some "Hemi" attitude.

Looks like neither one could keep their traps shut.

adjust the idle speed in gear with the e brake on or wheels chocked till you feel it feels happy.

just to toss another picture on here, zoom in and you can see the hose on FEF.
