For those long freeway drives I wanted cruise control. This is the story of how I hid the buttons in the classic Nardi steering wheel

After 26 months in the shop I drove the car home! Now I drive it everywhere I go. Taking the kids to school, to work, to tennis. I’ve already let a few Mustangs know who’s boss.

Now that the coupe is ready for daily service, it is time to turn our attention to the interior. What was until very recently nothing but steel and wires is now becoming a nicely detailed driving environment.

I wanted to preserve the classic instrument cluster with its analog gauges, while adding a nice digital display.

Now that we’ve driven the coupe around the neighborhood we came to a crossroads. At this point in a typical restoration one would strip the car back to its shell and send it to paint. I could not be more excited to be to that point…

After 18 months of restoration and fabrication, we finally drive the car!

This week we got the Tesla drive unit installed into the Coupe.

Everyone has a story. I have plenty, and most of them have to do with cars. Here’s a bit of background.
