    First off the steering wheel:

    could I put this in my mav? Stock one is cracked and crappy looking.

    As for paint:

    I am painting everything in the engine bay that I can. Does anyone know specific brands and types of paint to use for individual items? Block, bay(this need primer?) radiatior, everything!

    Thanks :D

    The grant steering wheel should fit on there pretty easly
    just make sure you have the grant product number 3429 for the instalation kit or the 5429 or 5429-1. These kits are for 70's fords and are easly to instal, all grant products by the way.

    I would also recomend the grant steering wheel removal kit, its easier to use than the professional one and its 7 dollars... or at least it was for me.

    All of these parts can be picked up at your local O'reilly auto parts store.... and no i didnt just say that cause i work there:thumbs2:
