Chrome chain steering wheel. Yes? No?

Sell it to nwbhotrod, he said he's looking for one for his Impala.

 

Another no.

 

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and yes

 

Yes, only if you wear large ornate rings on most of your fingers. If not, no.

 

Yesss

 

If it were me I would run some nice wide whites, keep the hub caps. Lower it and either re paint it a light blue with a micro flake light blue roof, white interior and re do the steering wheel in micro flake.

 

Man,it just slays me to agree with everybody on the HAMB-what fun is that? But, no.

 

Sure it was......lol.

 

Yes, but make sure the links are welded real good. I had one on a jet dragster, and a weld let go at 260 mph and it pinched the little finger on my right hand. The worst part, was that for a couple weeks I couldn't sign any autographs.

 

A chain wheel is a good way to get hurt, catch a finger and rip it off ouch! Also never use any wheel that is not completly round , cars need round wheels airplains are different.

 

Well thanks for all of the replies. I guess the chain wheel is out....I'm glad you all feel that way, it gives me reason to believe the HAMB is still in good hands.
One idea was a Grant wood wheel which I had thought about. I always thought they worked well for sport cars, GTs and such, just not sure about the T-Bird for the direction I'm going. The stock wheel is ok. I did repaint it a few years ago. I'll rethink it's possibilities. I may just go with the metalflake wheel. Never had one but always liked metalflake, great 60s look.

 

I agree with this ^^^^^ guy...

 

Oh mama mia, just say no!....

 

Say "yes" to teak!!... Chains... I don't think so.. Gag!

 

I say Yes. seriously.

I run the original on my 64 Tbird,
but I have a sense of humor and
don't have a problem with a chain
wheel.

 

I like 4-door 'birds also...

 

Yeah, ok Cheech!..
Nice car! Why ruin it???.....

 

Fuckin NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sure, then paint a mural of Charles Nelson Reilly riding a polar bear on the decklid.

 

I've used Grant 3 spoke wheels on some of my cars because of my T.B. (2 bellies) I have em on my 2 currents. But NEVER a chain one!!! I have a teak on my Galaxie,and a black vinyl one on my Ranchero. My stock ones are hanging on my wall waiting for thinner days ahead!

 

No. Dave's not here. Gary

 

I have an idea you will give it a go anyway just to see. I drove a T bucket in the 80s with one and i can say it wasnt that flash. SO NO WAY to it !!! JW

 

wasn't there a story about why they made chain steering wheels? something about breaking out of jail or something like that or is that urban legend?

 

Not the HAMB Police Mantra

Pre-65, but as with any rule you'll still need to engage your brain occasionally and also press the common sense button... 4th generation T-birds were 1964-1966.

So that 1964 is ok, but the 1965 and 1966, which are the same as the 1964, aren't "HAMB Friendly".

'splain that to me Lucy"

 

No,HRP

 

Just say NO to chains. They will mess with your mind.

 

we have one on our golf cart and horrible to make a sharp turn or any kind of turn for that matter. Theyll make your hand go numb in the winter and burn it in the summer so im with everybody else.......NO!

 

I kinda like the thin wood grain wheels typical of what could have come in the car in the 1st place... smooooth

but really it depends on what the rest of your interiour looks like...

BTW... looked at a 64 / 65 Bird when I was a lot younger... had a neat option... the swing out steering wheel / column... to make it easier to get into & out of the car... I always thought that was cool... almost bought the car for that feature... but I never could fully swallow the "square birds" always prefered the O.T. 67-69 Birds with their rounded features... in fact if I didn't have my Studie apart right now, I know where there is a pretty solid 67 I'd have to deal on...

 

Hell No.

 

No...put thanks for asking
