Before I attemp this sort of thing on a original mach 1 rim blow wheel , I think I am going to get a salvage yard one and pratice on it first,
The original wheel is very costly to replace if I screw it up.
Several yrs ago when I was at a car show , I saw a wheel that the owner restored in a wood grain style , it looked as real as you can imagine. The lady told me she would be happy to help me do mine and gave me her business card and said to call any time . Well my then girl friened who was so jelious she didn't like me even talking to anyone , took the card and tore it up. I have never seen that lady again. I have yet to see any steering wheel done as wheel as she did her either.
She had a beautifull Black Mach 1 and it was a first class car all the way. and you know what so was the lady , maybe thats why the card got distroyed.
