I made a steering wheel for my coupe.

One more thing. You might want to consider a smaller diameter (optional) as 16" might be a little large for some applications. Just a thought.

Hmmmmmm..........very interesting!

 

that just rules!

 

You BUMB you were showing everybody that wheel but me ha ha.Even Piero got to touch it ....

 

Damn thats nice ! Again DAMN!

 

I know what you do for a living.
I think you are in the wrong business.
I'm interested in one, too.

I'll take one of the limited run. You choose the rim, your eye is good my young friend.

I guess I'll have to build an Indy roadster for the wheel to go in. Hmmmmn. I was there that last year that a roadster ran.

Oh yea this isn't about me is it?

The wheel looks good.

 

Looks great!
I dig it.

 

That turned out great! I'm a ways off from getting a nice wheel for the '29, but maybe later on your second batch.......

 

Awesome! I'd love one of those on my ride, well the ride I'm still in the parts gathering stage for....

 

Very very cool... it gives me some ideas... hmmm...

 

Beautiful...looks 1935 killer racecar to me.
Here's a recipe for a sprint car wheel I found in some ancient magazine:
Take one worn-out buzz saw blade; draw your spokes and rim on it. Cut out pieces between spokes with whatever combination of hole saws, hack saws, bandsaws, and cold chisels you have, spend the next three weeks perfecting it with a rat bastard file. Time means nothing, this is the depression. Build up rim with whatever...wood for elegance, garden hose and friction tape for dirtbag fairgrounds racer. Done.
The saw was chosen as material for both strength and for primitive safety reasons... a spring steel wheel (often with a padded disc over hub) had some supportive give when the driver went into the wheel while cartwheeling through the fence and into the hot dog stand.

 

very cool,nice work!

 

As for finish-I vote to leave it bare, and let the oil (grease?) of your hands stain it. Natural patina.
I'll take mine in white oak, please!

 

Super classy!

A friend has a cnc plasma....

Another has a full woodworking shop.....

hmmmmmm

i have had thoughts of some thing similar but i cant wrap my head around the wood

 

Holy shit, I had the same idea for my coupe! I was trying to make it out of an old saw blade like they used to do but was then informed by Suhr speed (Zach) that they used to use a certain type of blade so that it did not shatter. That's really cool Kevin. I am going to try to mimic a 17" bell steering wheel with a deep stained wood ring and brass rivets.

 

I prefer an extra Sharp Cheddar. Thumbs up man!

 

Holely shit that's left and rightous !

 

???

 

Wow....

 

Love it!

 

Love it, Could be in for one of the limited run depending on price, although it may be too nice for the project I have in mind for it.
Mongo

 

Very nice!

 

That's pretty damn cool Kevin.....

 

I'd like one in Swiss, with the holes in the spokes matching the holes in the cheese rim.

 

Very nice... but did I understand you correctly, you used "morning wood" ?

 

Nice, a three spoke version would be cool also.

 

Saw it in the flesh, its awesome. Nice work dude! It'll look sweet in your rat rod>
