  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Great offer to someone. I looked several years for one and paid a premium price for a very nice one.

    Bit of trivia: the "batwing" steering wheel was first used by Oldsmobile. Here is a photo of a '69 Cutlass W31.

  12. I have one of these in my 1972 Buick Skylark that is Dark Green and it is in near mint to mint condition.

    I have always liked the look of both the Buick and Oldsmobile Batwing Steering Wheels.

  13. I also love this design of the Oldsmobile Batwing Steering Wheels that were popular in 1978-1979 Oldsmobile's. I have had several of these on some Oldsmobile's that I have owned in the past.

    it's not easy to do when installed on the car. Easy to damage the wheel. With it off the car use something to push from the backside through the splined hole. Once it is removed, you will see that it just has a rubber holding it in place.

    So that's how they keep cars from reproducing. :) When I owned an Opel GT, I used to joke that it's what you get when a Corvette has a baby. :)
