Hi everyone! Just thought I'd post a few shots of some of the cool steering wheels I've been working on over the last few months.

This is in an FM3 Charger R/T from Red Deer and will likely be at the MATS show later this year.

Here's a picture of the car itself. Restored by our own Kori Alexander!

Together, a force to be reckoned with

Thanks Alan, I'm a very small part of what Kori accomplishes but I'm grateful to be included in the process! ... as I was in the case of the BarrelCuda!

Check out this reflection!

... and now for something completely different! A Caddy wheel that was missing ALL the material from the rim and only had a minuscule amount of plastic left where the spokes met the rim! I used an early 50's Chevy rim as a donor, cut the original ring off the spokes, welded on the donor rim and the proceeded to repair and paint it in a 2 tone color scheme as per the customers request. The colors were separated by a metal band and then the entire wheel was buried under several coats of clear, leaving a smooth finish.

This first shot is of the donor wheel laying on top of whats left of the Caddy wheel.

The original rim cut off and the donor rim welded in place.

The missing sections of rim built up and ready for the entire wheel to be wrapped with carbon fiber cloth and resin.

The wheel has now been wrapped with carbon fiber cloth, several coats of resin, sanded smooth and base coated in Black.

... and meer minutes after starting on it! The wheel is complete and ready for years of driving pleasure LOL

Okay it took more than a few minutes but it is ready for many years of driving pleasure for the owner.

Turned out Awesome!!! No surprise but that one was more of a challenge than most....

I guess I can go back a few years and show a picture of the rim blow wheel I did for Alan and his BarrelCuda!!

... and wrapped in carbon fiber with several coats of resin. Then sanded smooth in preparation for paint.

Viola, all painted , polished and ready to go!

Nice work!!
Do you do 68 AMC AMX steering wheels? How much (roughly) would it cost?
Heres a pics, the wood grain is pretty good, but black backside has a few large cracks.

You got my vote!

Doug,
Awesome work as usual !

... and the done wheel.

close-up of the hub.

... and back in the customers car!

Thanks Al and Pete, you guys are pretty awesome yourselves!

My amateur efforts:

Top part of wheel was almost gone with only the steel core remaining. Lots of cracks where the "wings" meet the wheel.

In the car:

Interior was orignally teal green.

That looks awesome Mark! Mopar wheels are the best ...
