FYI Corvette Steering Wheel Restoration

I have a source that restores corvette steering wheels 53-62 and does a great job at a reasonable price. He also paints turn signal housings and hubs. He has done six wheels and hubs for me. His name is Isaac Tyson, phone # 1-574-453-7754

If you are looking for someone to restore your 1953-1962 Corvette steering wheel(s) then perhaps I can help. I have been in the business of restoring wheels for the past five years now and have a lot of experience turning an old, ugly, cracked wheel into a work of art that really compliments a Corvette. It is always a shame to see a perfect Corvette with an old cracked steering wheel. If you have one of those wheels, and would like it restored, please give me a call. Don't waste your money on so called "reproductions" when you can have a beautifully restored steering wheel!

I offer a 5% discount to all SACC and NCRS members!

Attached below are a few pictures of my work. I can provide dozens more photos for you if interested. Below is also listed a general price chart, though I am always willing to customize a deal to your needs and liking. If you are looking for a reference to my work you can contact Leland McCoy at: leemccoy@msn.com.

Chip,

At our November 2007 SACC Tech Session, Jeff Reade mentioned that a 170 degree thermostat would help some C1's that have overheating problems, but that he has not been able to find one in many years. I have been looking for a 170 degree unit for my C2 for some time (in all the wrong places) and finally did so last week on EBay. GM part number 10220957, Gr.1.246 (AC Delco #131-84) 170 degree thermostat is available at any GM dealer or AC Delco store. The AC Delco outlet that I called sells them for $8.49.

My local Chevrolet dealer told me this morning that this part is still listed for 1953-62 Corvettes and retails for about $13.00. They are packaged in a standard AC Delco box and made in the USA.

I thought that some of our SACC members may be interested in this information as hot weather is only a few months away.
