Love for the Black Monte

Long before I bought the black Monte from @ChibiBlackSheep, he put a black/red leather WheelSkin on the steering wheel, to help start an eventual black/red interior. Basically mimic the 2000 Monte Carlo Pace Car interior. Because I like red as an accent color, I decided I might see if I could continue this. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I got lucky and someone about two hours from me was able to get me the rear interior panels. I then painted some front door bezels. Well, now, I got wondering if I could start leather wrapping a steering wheel and maybe a shifter. I have not mastered the shifter (so far three attempts but I am getting better). But the wheel was pretty much one and done. But for the record, VERY time consuming and attention to detail. I was using a simple baseball stitch, but you have to follow a set rhythm or it will not look right. I am 100% happy how the wheel came out. Thrilled I got it installed in the black Monte today.
If anyone wants more details on the process of me re-wrapping the steering wheel, please see this thread:

I recently the sub-frame/anti-pogo washer swap on the black Monte. For more information about this, check out this thread:

Excuse the rust on the strut plates, typical for these cars.
