'59 Plymouth Steering Wheel

Looks to be in decent shape - of course, it will need repair and recasting, and a replacement cushion for the horn ring. Other than that it's perfect!

OMG William! That's awesome - congrats. Now, to chase down if the new D & D proprietors still recast these.

After checking around I found a guy in San Diego that cast them as well.

I emailed him a while back and said he could source a wheel and provide a full resto for $2500! which I thought was a little high. I will contact him again once the wheel I just purchased arrives and I can get some more detailed photos to send to him for an estimate. I will contact D&D and get an estimate from them as well for comparison.

It has been a good week of parts hunting. Got this wheel, a trunk V, clock, padded sun visors, side view mirror AND best of all A decent set of SF headliner boards that will clean up really nice with a little work

Would it be blaspheme if I recast this wheel in stock green but add either gold or silver metal flake in the clear?

I know they came stock in just plain clear but that sparkle flake really makes the wheel POP!

Quality Restoration has photos of a couple 1960 Areo wheels they have done with the sparkle and ohhh boy they look good.
