    I haven’t seen anyone mention it but his initial reaction is something only few understand. The way his face went from smiling excitedly to what seems emotionless. It’s that pure shock of disbelief that it came out as great as it did and then an even greater smile came back. As far as drivetrain, I’d go with a 454 big block or any chevy big block to have that sound just match the classic drag car look that it has

    That steering wheel issue is what's known as "sticky dash". I'm shocked the whole dashboard wasn't the same way. I'm doing a 2005 VW Beetle as a flip. The ENTIRE interior was very thick sticky residue from all the plastic and vinyl gassing out from neglect and hot sun. After several different cleaners and hours (days) of scrubbing I finally found that isopropyl alcohol (watered down a little) and steam with a brush attachment made the residue just fall right off. You'll need a few brush attachments because they load up pretty quick. Let one soak in hot water to clean while the other is in use.
    Great job guys!

    I think that you should put another 396 back in it. But an LS motor would probably be nice too. That sticker that says safety check is something they would put there for drag racing. They would have to be checked out and then they wouldn’t be allowed to race without it. Another great find and looking forward for the restoration.

    My dad, a plastics engineer explained what the sticky stuff on the steering wheel is: Plastisols. Plastisols are the setter of a Vinyl plastic. The Plastisol is semi volatile meaning that it slowly migrates to the surface of the plastic causing the plastic to shrink and have a sticky surface. The way to stop the migration and shrinking is: You can’t. The best way to clean the wheel is:
    GENTLY wash the wheel!!! DO NOT gouge or damage the plastic! I have restored many old steering-wheels and the most common damage I see is from overly aggressive scrubbing.
    1) Dish soap and warm water is very effective most of the time and in a lot of cases is all that is necessary. Clean using an old toothbrush and some rags that you are willing to throw away. Remember the three keys to cleaning are: Time, Agitation, and Contact.
    2) If the soap and water didn’t work use high concentration isopropyl alcohol like 91% or so. Use the same method of cleaning as before.
    Optional: is you have a steamer it really helps to accelerate the cleaning process.
    Finally you need to put a surface protection coating on the wheel (NOT a wheel cover!) Silicon Oil is what I have used for years it is very effective and lasts for about two to three years.
    I hope this helps with anyone els who is restoring an old steering-wheel. Wish you the best and remember never give up on your old car and they will never let you down.
