Redoing the bedwood on my stepper . Something got on it in the barn over last winter and discolored it . So I replaned it and sanded till it was acceptable . This time I’m using a marine waterborne spar urethane. So far it’s looking good reason I’m trying it is I need to do this in the basement so fumes wood stove and gas water heater don’t mix all that well .

The black real leather showed up today for my 67 custom interior build , Now I have to cut up a set of 67 folding bench seats to build a set of buckets . :chevy:

i removed my steering wheel in order to change out the turn signal switch. i took the opportunity to clean and polish the steering wheel. plan to really polish up the column as well before i put it back together. i did find out that my steering wheel is worth $500 bucks which is neat. i bought it about 15 years ago for about $200. i was thinking about removing it for an original wheel. nice to know if i decide to do that i will be able to sell it for a little $$. i also pulled the bed off for better access. i prepping for undercoating. im probably going to have to use a combo of roll on and aerosol. anyone have good luck with specific brands?

Pictures of the steering wheel would be nice :metal:

I started to put the wood back in today . Amazing how dirty a frame gets just sitting the little black dots are worm holes I filled with epoxy prior to the polyurethane.

That truck reminds me of an almost identicle truck a guy named Joe Mines from your area owned in the 1970's he owned Joe Mines Blasting and it had a set of aluminum slots on it . One of the best looking trucks on the road in North Jersey at the time . Very Nice ! :chevy:
