    Update!!!
    As I broked the last steering wheel, I made another... two actually, one made of steel that proved to be way too heavy and not completely rounded and another one made with the same kind of wood skateboards are made.
    But first I had to make (cause couldnt find this at any hardware store) these bad boys.

    Calculator Paper Rolls and sanding paper... they work excellent and cost me 3 bucks total...

    Here is a shot of myself working on my roofless shop... (awesome sunset yesterday)

    And the new steering wheel almost done:

    If everything continues to go well, we get to paint the car tomorrow, so stay tuned!!!
    Thanks for watching!

    You sir not only built a cool car for a pretty girl but a memory that will last a lifetime for you both. You have done very good indeed.

    Car is painted, pinstriped and with some parts on already.
    Need to finish the steering wheel, and it will be ready, but until then, no more pics! ;)

  9. Very nice work. Like the steering wheel and I am sure that unit works better than the little junky ones from speedway.

    Looks great, I love seeing hand made things like this because you put your heart into it, instead of just buying something in a store.

    Custom = Love. If you put work and dedication to something is just because you love it. In this case I wanted my girl to have something that I always wanted to have and that you just can't buy here.
    All the love I put in that car is coming back to me, and it's great.
    Thanks guys for the positive feedback, is much appreciated!
