Steering wheel

Really nice work. I wondered if there was hope for mine. I'm gonna go for it.

Was your car a console car originally? When I was restoring my 68 I couldn't find a 4 speed console.

How are the Pearl Parchment deluxe door panels from Legendary? I had a hard time with the color matching on panels from Classic Industries. Color was way off from the seat covers, twice!

I also went with these Flowmasters. They sound great EXCEPT for the occasional metallic rattling noise. I usually notice it when it bounces off a adjacent wall or car.

I couldn't find anything in this forum about upgrading headlamps. Is there a halogen, or other modern lamp type that can be swapped into a '68 bird?

I have always wondered; what about the mating surfaces such as the manifold to block (ports?) where there is paint? No sealing problem from the paint? (maybe a dumb question)

On first gen firebird the engine code breakdown gives the number of auto/man. 350HO's. It may be safe to assume the ratio of conv/coupe is the same for 350HO as for the total population.
