    I grabbed one out of a junkyard a few years ago and its hanging on my garage wall. I'll never put it in a car, but its interesting on the wall!

    Believe it or not, not everybody likes exactly the same thing. Go figure.




    For Lil'Billy, run what you want. But look at the great company you'll be in with the chain wheel...

    First of all, me. Everybody wants to be like me right?

    I actually like the surfer/van-tastic barefoot gas pedals too because I never see them on anything. :D

    Do you get those Dingo Balls from an Australian Veterinarian who castrates Dingos? ;)

    Dingle Balls are cool, especially on bumpy concrete roads that make them dance.
    The Low-ri-der is a little higher... :cool:

    Just put a fur wheel cover on it when the sun's cookin' it or the heat is around. :cool::cool:

    its funny how the cut off for traditional rod and customs keeps getting molested to fit whatever crap people have laying around their garages.

    not my style. your ride, you decide.

    I think we can give the chain steering wheel a little respect.

    Here's my ride..

    I drove my '54 Ford up to my Great Uncles house so he could take a look at it. I'm running one of those APC Grant 3 spoke clones. He took a look at it and said "We used to run them back when I was young (Late 50's, Mid 60's), and the ones that were a chain too."

    He had a badass '56 Chevy Gasser, so I'll take his word for it.

    It would make a good wall hanger but unless I was shooting for the look that required it I wouldn't want to run on on anything I owned. Well, maybe on a wheel barrow T go cart. Now that might be cool.

    Come on....those things were in and then out again so fast. Don't forget to hang your gold chain and medallion around your neck while wearing a great tall collar shirt with your fuzzy chest hanging out. Slouch way down in the seat, hang a non-filtered cigarette on the edge of your lip, swap your column shift lever over to the left side of hte column and hang some old "grad year" tassle from your rear view mirror. That's an ugly wheel....always was, always will be. Only one kind of person used those....
