I can't leave a car totally stock...too boring for me. So, I got a great deal on this used Italian Nardi wood steering wheel. Since the turnsignal switch in the column needed to be replaced, it was a perfect time to swap the wheel too. My friend Jim has become the GM column guru now. He's had these damn things apart so many times now, he could probably do it in his sleep.
I also trashed the stock seatbelt holder and added these loops from an '86 Camaro. I dyed them dark blue to match the interior. Now we won't get strangled by the belts.
The brace you see here is out of an early 80's G-body Bonneville. It bolts right on in place of the stock spindly wire "braces" that come on the car originally. The only thing I had to do was move the coolant tank over.
Here's the brace on the driver's side. This one clears the washer tank and battery with no trouble. They did make the car tighter over bumps, and the car handles better too. I like 'em!
