1955 OVAL WINDOW VW BUG STEERING WHEEL

This '55 VW steering wheel was sent out from Indiana Pennsylvania USA.
Owner Howard Creps of "Cookers V-dubs" wanted to have an original but unique steering wheel for his latest project.
Spokes and centre cap surround were chromed. We finished the wheel in black pearl.
Thank you Howard for sharing these photos. Nice to see where the wheels end up.!

VOLVO 1937

This quite rare 1937 banjo Volvo steering wheel was in a very sad state. We completely rebuilt the steering wheel, using a superior method - re attchment of spokes to rim.  The final plasticised finish complimented the original centre emblem surround.
Customer prefered leaving the surround as original rather than match exactly to the rim.
It is never an exact science, however we were all quite delighted with the final result. Wheel should blend in very nicely with the art deco colour scheme.
Photos of wheel in situ hopefully soon to follow..

LINCOLN 1949

It has been a couple of years now since we completed this wheel.
When John Campanella of CA USA sent his wheel out to us. He wanted to have the final finish in a subtle walnut, to to be complimentary to the interior of his '49 Lincoln.
John took some time to finish his project, however "WOW" well worth the wait.
The paint colour in particular is spectacular which is as you would expect as John works for Nasa and was responsible for painting the first and second " Mars cars".
