    Another small detail done

    Had surgery several years ago on my hands for Copral tunnel. Ever since it been hard to hold on to things. I refinished the 67 Chevelle steering wheel back over Christmas and ever since it's been fatiguing my hands if I drive it a lot. So I started looking for a way to make it thicker and came up with this. Water pipe insulation from lowes with a nice full leather wrap from here.

    It's a full wrap you have to sew it by hand yourself. It took just over 1 hr for me to install it. I had a few miss haps also so if I had done it right the first time maybe 45minutes.

                  I have been thinking about this for awhile before I decided to do it. I tried to drive the truck but it just wore my hands out so I went for it.
                  I drove the truck to the Myrtle Beach car show back in March which is 4.5 hr drive by the time I got to the house my hands were num! I had to do something before the tour.
