    I like original but mine is long gone so I bought a Grant Classic Nostalgia steering wheel because I like the fact it is 15" in diameter. Mine has the Mustang horn button...I plan to use a Maverick emblem in it when I get around to re-doing the interior. Not 100% sold on this wheel though. What are you using? Let's see some pics.

    Mine long ago

    I have a Grant Signature series, not sure which model number or what its called. I like it because its bigger than the lower grade Grants, maybe 15" instead of 14". And it looks kind of old school but new. I have the FORD logo horn button to put on it but havent got around to it.

    In order from current to the Grant that was on it when I bought the car. Horn shorted on the Grant so it went bye bye. Replaced it with the Blue factory wheel. Found a nice Sport wheel at a reasonable price, cleaned her up a bit and thats the current wheel.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Grant 724.

    I have one of their GT series, it's a 14". Aluminum/Mahogany.

    My uncle bought it about 20 years ago for his Camaro project, but he sold the car before he installed it. Then 15 years later he found it while he was moving houses and gave it to me.

    I put a door panel emblem I got from a 77 LDO.

    It doesn't really match anything in the car, I'm thinking about adding some brushed aluminum door panels.

    Man those factory Sport wheels are hard to beat. I had one on an old Bronco once....should've kept it.

    Craig my girlfriend gave me a silver Sharpie to use on my hobby stuff. They right on anything and it seems like paint. You might be able to bring that trim back with one.

    Thats a great idea. I wanted to touch up the trim on that wheel but was afraid to take apart the good horn pad to do it so I left it alone. Might want to give the Sharpie idea a go Craig. (y)
