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.

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.

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