RIMBLOW RESTORATIONS NZ  THE BEST WHEELS @ THE BEST PRICE gary.mcneill@otago.ac.nz WELCOME! Updated May 2012 Hi, my name is Gary McNeill. I am a car enthusiast and have restored and owned many Concours GT Falcons, Cobra Jets, Boss 429 etc. I currently own a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, 390BB, 4 speed, 23000 miles, 1970 Pymouth Superbird, 6 pack, 4 speed and a 1970 Mustang 428 Cobra Jet (R code), 4 speed etc. I started restoring steering wheels after purchasing a "restored" wheel from the USA. I was very disappointed in the overall quality of this wheel and decided that I could not use this wheel on my "concours" Boss 429, so I restored my own wheel. I have since been restoring other peoples wheels and decided to set up a "hobby" business. I have now restored over 900 wheels, with a 100% positive feedback. You can view some of my feedback on Ebay (boss429kiwi). I am also a regular on the Boss 302/429, Torino/Cyclone and Cobra Jet forums.  The art of restoring these wheels is time, passion, patience, professionalism and above all pride! These show quality wheels are being installed on some of the world's rarest cars and being sold to the fussiest of owners! GTHO, XY XA GT, Boss Mustangs, Shelby, Cobra Jet, Mach 1 to name just a few. Even though I specialise in Falcon GT and Mustang rimblow steering wheels, I restore all classic "plastic" wheels to any colour specifications.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      SERVICE I pride myself on Service and Communication These show quality deluxe rimblow wheels are restored using an "old school" style teak or walnut woodgrain effect which separates my wheels from the rest. The black paint (or colour) and new alloy band are also show quality, and the entire wheel is then sealed with 3 coats of clear-coat/Resin for longevity and luster. NO PLASTIC FILLERS, FIBRAGLASS, WELDING OR PUTTYS USED TO REPAIR CRACKS (BEWARE OF OTHERS!). I can also restore and detail your XY/69 pad and fascias, however the outcome will be determined on the original condition (no cracks or splits etc). Rimblow wheels are now restored with a gloss black (colour) finish and a semi gloss wood grain finish, just like originals. Photos on the photo link yet to be attached.  Turn around approx 10 -14 days (see timeline below)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          TO HAVE YOUR WHEEL RESTORED            XYGT - XA/XBGT Falcon / 69 and 70-73 Mustang (if your wheel has been previously "restored" by another, the price will need to be quoted) $630nz  New Zealand + $30 postage (wheel restoration, new horn switch) $450au  Australian + $30au postage (wheel restoration, new horn switch) $450us  USA + $75us postage      (wheel restoration, new horn switch)           I also restore XYGT/69 Mustang pads and fascias.
