RIMBLOW RESTORATION NZ  THE BEST WHEELS @ THE BEST PRICE gary.mcneill@otago.ac.nz WELCOME! Hi, my name is Gary McNeill. I am a car enthusiast and have restored and owned many (GT Falcons, Cobra Jets etc). I currently own a "concours" restored 1970 Boss 429 Mustang and a 1971 Torino GT (shaker, 4 speed etc). I started restoring steering wheels after purchasing one 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, restoring my own wheel. I have since been restoring other peoples wheels and decided to set up a "hobby" business. I have now restored over 550 wheels, with a 100% positive feedback. You can view some of my feedback on Ebay (boss429kiwi). I am also a regular on the Boss 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 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 (no paint used to replicate woodgrain). 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 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 fascia. UPDATED PROCEDURE. Rimblow wheels are now restored with a gloss black (colour) finish and a semi gloss wood grain finish, just like originals.
