Hey guys in this video I do a how to restore a wood steering wheel. This is a Moto Lisa Cobra Style steering wheel that I had sitting in my 68 mustang for over 9 years. Over that time is was sitting outside and the UV rays baked the clear coat. So I fixed that issue and restore my wheel to like new condition.

I did this to an old GT Grant wheel for my dads 75 ford short bed. Came out supa' clean! Gives it that classic feel

Restore might be a stretch. Refinish the wood is more accurate. The number one and two priorities for choosing the finish should be UV and moisture resistant. It's going to see a lot of sunlight and sweat from your hands. Recommend you shop for a finish at a marine hardware store and choose a finish meant for boats (look for anything used on "bright work").

Badass steering wheel. I've always wanted a wood grain wheel.

Thanks for the vid. I have a Nardi Torino that's in bad shape that this would be perfect for. Will try it out

Good work on the wheel restoration. It's *Moto Lita*, btw. Not Moto Lisa. These wheels are from the UK, and Shelby put these wheels on his Shelby Mustangs when he first started making them.

Man that looks sick with the gloss varnish! What grit did you sand with? I'd be scared I'd square off the wheel or something lol
