Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! Me neither. In the meantime, in case I forgot to post it, I did finish my deluxe steering wheel modification. It was an unintended diameter reduction, as I was planning on restoring the old original deluxe wheel, but it was too much of a basket case as I got into it. So, I cut out the hub and welded it to a '61 Pontiac steering wheel I had reduced a long time ago for a Ventura project that never materialized.
...size difference after welding the hub to the outer ring...
...lots of epoxy - previous sectioned area on the bottom wheel that I epoxied 10 years ago started to crack:
...about 45 hours of sanding and shaping with another application of epoxy in between:
...painted then assembled:
