My PEARLIZED Steering wheel is coming back FROM AUSTRALIA!!!

The Starliner is finally making progress thanks to Alex and the guys at Gambino Kustoms. In the meantime, I sent a cherry replacement steering wheel I bought to PearlCraft in Australia for their hand-done pearl treatment. Lee just sent me pics of it. She said it received even a few more coats of clear after these shots were taken.

It should be here in a week or two. I can't wait to see it with the matching door panel inserts and dash inserts. The chip next to it is what I sent them to match.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share because I feel like Christmas is coming.

Got any pix of the rest of the Starliner? I remember almost buying one for $600 when I was in high school.

 

Holy Shit dude!!! that wheel rules!!! what else you have planned for that 60 starliner of yours dude??

 

HOLY SHIT !!!!! Is that nice.

 

Here's the last photo of it before it went to Alex's. It will soon be abalone flake with candy blue panels around the stainless and chrome trim, 4-corner AirRide, all new interior, drawer pull grille and more.

 

That's very Kool ! Can you post some info on who does this type of work ?

I added it to the first post too.

 

Lusted after those wheels ever since Pedro sent me some Aussie mags a few years ago................the white is the ginchyest!

 

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT.

 

Nice KIRK! the first time i spotted that 60 at the Long Beach swap i thought it was a NICE car but greatly disliked the wheels choice, it looked bland, you took it and are continuing to take it to the next level!!! can't wait to see its progress!!

 

That is a bicth'n wheel! What did they charge you for that?

 

Yikes! That's dramatic as hell. Perfect for a custom. Expect to see many more, now...

 

Hey Kirk ..
read the Gazette and the problems the car has given you ..
but it SURES LOOKS NICE !!!

 

That wheel is bitchin'.....its gonna look nice in your ride...

 

Kirk. Always "one up" in the automotive fashion world. So I guess you found who and what you are going with on your interior now? KNUX!

 

Great thanks KIRK....you let the cat out of the bag!!!! I was hoping to be the only one with one of those pearl wheels...mine will be here next week!!! seriously it looks great.....

John

 

one word.... sweet

 

Damn! That looks sweet!

 

Alot of that going around lately....

 

Wow, that looks awesome! How durable is the finish supposed to be?

 

Damm Kirk, thats SPARKLY!!

 

Those pearled steering wheels do look ace.

A Question though I don't see too many pearled steering wheels in the US weren't they available? or is it a British/Commonwealth thing?

 

I'm surprised they don't do them "stateside"...?
They look amazing in the flesh too.....

=]

 

Oh now that is some cool shit right there!

 

Nice. I have always loved those Starliners. That wheel is a hell of a nice touch.

 

That wheel is absolutly stunning. I'm going to explore getting one for my Merc! Thanks for the post - and that Starliner is gorgeous!

 

Cool!

 

That looks awesome. How long did it take? Why can't anyone in the US or (why isn't anyone in the US) doing this?

I remember the post awhile back ago about it. Didn't someone else get one done there too?

 

Damn, I hate you.

 

That could possibly be the coolest thing I ever saw. Gonna look great on the car- I would be very interested in more pics, interior etc.
