Off the press. These outer and inner edges will be hand filed and wet sanded to perfection within a hair of polishing. Here's a rough and jagged outer edge. Note the slight 4+ radius.

Note: compared to the original Horn ring how the aluminum horn ring is taking shape.

A very rough ring sitting loosely on the cross bridge that will become a solid Horn ring after a date with my ace welder. By the way, as is in its rough stage with out the trimming and all, it weighs 1/2 Lb.
All together compared to the 1-1/2 Lb original, this crazy segment shaved off 1 lb high and front. I'll come back when it's all welded, trimmed, sanded and ready for the full polish. I still need to attach the face name plate with the water jet cut C-O-R-O-N-E-T letters. Stay tuned.

Aluminum... it's what's for dinner.
Nice job!
Have you thought about a way to lighten the actual steering wheel? Would it even be possible?

Already made one and it was a hard job to say the least. Lots of adoptions and Edward scissorhands stuff using existent aluminum aftermarket wheels. I'll post flicks soon when I get back to the car. At the moment stuck in my studio.
