Re: Steering wheel re-size
`Now you have me wondering if I kept the wheel I took out of the 51 donor cab.
I'm thinking that the one I saw and it may have been a HAMB tech article used a smaller hoop welded to the spokes and they routered grooves in the plywood or mfd board to make a mold to pour the resin in to mold the wheel.
The big problem with AD truck wheels and probably the 53 BelAir wheel I have saved back for my 48 is the bakelite that the wheel is made of to begin with. That stuff gets brittle and does't play well with other materials.
