NAPIER 1908

It is a number of years since we were contacted by Bill Bishop to construct a wheel for his 1908 Napier. All we had to work with was the centre "spider" this proved a bit of a challenge and we were always very keen to see our handy work in situ, however progress can be extremely slow in the world of Historic restoration. Recently we were e-mailed these photos of the completed project.

Thanks Bill she looks amazing!

CHRYSLER IMPERIAL CROWN

Rob and Louisa Van Eck of South Australia have spent a small fortune on restoring their 1957 two door coupe. We were commissioned by Finch restorations in the Adelaide hills, Our mission-- --- to enhance this impressive but difficult ( from our perspective ) steering wheel.

First job was to remove all of the chrome for gold plating.

After numerous repairs we reset the gold plated sections back into the wheel. We then pearl plasticised the steering wheel in dual colours.

Custom white Pearl as in the paint colour "Cassablanca" teamed with our "Regency Red Pearl".

On it's return Rob Van Eck was so delighted with the steering wheel, that he set off with it on his motor bike to show a mate. Unfortuately both Rob and the wheel took a huge tumble-- the wheel was consequently returned to us without even being fitted to the car.

So began the process once again-- gold sections removed to be recoated, then reset-- steering wheel replasticised as before.

CHEVY '54 MODIFIED STEERING WHEEL

We took this '54 Chevy steering wheel and reduced the rim down from 17" to 15.5". We dished the previously flat steering wheel by 3" and then pearl plasticised it in a custom silver blue to match the interior of the '51 Mercury.

The guys at South Austin Speed Shop in Texas made up a new horn ring to suit.

Wheel was commissioned by Jesse James for his '51 Mercury.

Thanks to John Joyo and crew for the photos.

FORD 1939

This gorgeous girl belongs to Chris and Allie Morgan of Melbourne Victoria.

After reducing the steering wheel diameter down from 17.5" to 15" we plasticised the wheel in a very striking "cobalt blue" marble to match the outside paint.

Thanks Chris & Allie for thinking of us and sending along these great shots.

KENWORTH W900L "NIGHT STALKER"

Melbourne's Klos brothers , Justin and Turk of "Klos Kustom Trucks" know the value of a limited edition truck, their Kenworth '007 edition W900L is not only one of the country's coolest custom trucks, it is also one of just a handful of this model built to commemorate the James Bond film " Licence to Kill" which featured a similar looking rig in its action sequenses.

Much of the way that Justin and Turk build trucks for themselves and their customers at their workshop reflects an old - school style and nothing symbolises old- school trucking in Australia more than the Kenworth SAR variant. (short Australian right- hand drive )

They sent us a new aftermarket steering wheel to pearl in custom blue, giving it the perfect touch for the era of this truck.
