Hi Everyone

I have looked at this site for a number of years and I am impressed with the knowledge and advice given to members. I currently own a 65 GT K fastback and have owned many mustangs over the past 30years including shelbys, bosses, 428CJs and k codes. Showing my age here!

Look forward to meeting some members in the future.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum! Since you've been lurking for a while you probably know we love pictures so lets see them!

I thought that there might be a request for some pics. I will take some new ones over the Christmas break and post them.

Here's some pics of my 65 K GT fastback.

Has some Shelbly GT350 up grades, small lettered Shelby inlet manifold, holley carb, tri y headers, lowered etc. Runs strong and is fun to drive. The car has a number matching engine, gearbox, and diff, but rear ratio has been changed from 4.1 to a road 3.5

Hiya Steve.

Best wishes from South Australia. Sounds like you've had a great history of Mustangs. Great pics, that's a fantastic looking K.

What have you done with your steering wheel? It looks fantastic, like real wood. Mine is due to be fixed. Yours looks thicker than mine does. Did you have it done here? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

René

Hi Rene

Thanks for your comments. My car is a driver, really needs a repaint/rebuild to be a show car. I intend to strip and rebuild the car in the future. All about time.

The steering wheel was done here in Brisbane. It is the standard thickness.The guy does wood grain, carbon fibre finihes etc. It is alot brighter than the orginal but looks great and the finish will last many years. I can send you his address /contact if you want. I do recommend that the wheel does not have any cracks.

Cheers

Great pics and a very nice kar! That steering wheel caught my eye as well, a little shiny as you stated but looks great! Wish they looked that good when they were new...

Hi Steve.

The address/contact would be great, also a website if possible. Are you saying if my wheel is already cracked then he wouldn't be able to help?

Thanks for that.

Hi Rene

The contact for the steering wheel coatings is MAD Coatings(marine/automotive/3 dimensional coatings) Contact is Brian Hastings, http://www.mad-coatings.com, ph (07) 3821 7160

Brian does not repair the steering wheels, only applies the coatings. You will need to remove the chrome rivets as well.

Just use a small wiring soldering iron to do this. Put the point in the centre of the rivet and the heat will melt the glue.

Cheers
