Is that a 15" wheel? That looks great.

Did you build that wheel yourself? It looks great. Do you have any pictures of it in the process of the build? I like the looks of the old wheels a lot, it’s just the size I don't care for that much. I like two of the design in the link I put in my post above, but a $300 wheel isn't in my near future. I wish I had the skills to make my own wheel.

Slow Build: It was more of an experiment after a few beers. I cut the hoop off the original wheel and ground back the plastic(?) to expose the metal framework of the wheel. I found a 15" valve handle at my place of employment and cleaned it up and just welded it on. Built the gaps back up with body filler and blended the arms into the hoop. Then tried to replicate the original texture with an engraving tool. It is far from perfect but will do until something better comes along.

I just put this Lumina wheel on mine. It's more comfortable for me but it blocks the speedo a little bit. It will work for awhile.

and change the whole column, dang that's a lot of work

Slow Build · 09-26-2011, 11:10 PM

Just had to change the wheel. My column is from the late 60's to early 70's (tilt, non-locking, no key in column). It fits fine and the horn wire was easy to retro-fit.

jimmydean · 09-27-2011, 03:25 PM

Here's my mock up, lots of work to do still.

**CMACDONALD1** · 09-27-2011, 04:36 PM

here is mine it is a comfort grip.

Blue Heeler · 09-27-2011, 08:06 PM

Here's mine i bought from the swamp-meet. anyways got it chromed, sanded, and primed it 3 times and painted it 3 times, wet sand everytime with #1000 and #2000 a bunch of times but not bad for a rattle can. what do you think?

jimmydean · 09-28-2011, 11:19 AM

That looks awesome! Amazing what a little time and effort does.
