BloodyKnuckles Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Our '54 DeSoto had a horrible steering wheel that was cracked with pieces missing. Someone tried to repair it at one time and did a crappy job. It STUNK!!! When I say it Stunk it was so bad that you could smell it outside of the car. A good friend of mine builds hot rods and restores cars. His wife is just as involved and she's the one who did the work. What an amazing job. The finish is a pearl with a slight hint of blue. I couldn't be much happier and my wife loves her new steering wheel. BloodyKnuckles Quote
Frank Blackstone Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 I don't need one re fished but I have an extra one that I would like to try for the experience. Did she take any progress pics? Curious Frank Quote
50PlymouthSled Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 What did you use to paint the steering wheel? As I'm going to need to redo mine. Quote
greg g Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Hernando sure looks smug and happy surrounded by his newly refurbished halo. Love them dashboard switches. a simple but well laid out cluster Quote
BloodyKnuckles Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure what process she used but I will find out. Thanks again, BloodyKnuckles Quote
50PlymouthSled Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks, Man. I appreciate it. Will be nice to do on mine. Quote
grey beard Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Please tell us what paint was used. Was it also painted on the car in position? Thanks Quote
BloodyKnuckles Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 I removed the wheel and gave it to her. I used another plymouth wheel for a few weeks so I could still enjoy the car. That original wheel was ugly, wow! I hated it. I am very pleased. BloodyKnuckles Quote
