Dr Cobra Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I am looking for a 1960s style steering wheel for a 57 Ford gasser. I've looked at some of the photo etch wheels and they all use a rubber o-ring for the rim, but i want to do the rim in green metalflake, anybody have an idea on a kit that might have one ?

Fat Brian Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 This similar wheel is on Shapeways, you can get one or a pair. http://shpws.me/NbSa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I may have one like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The AMT '72 Chevy pickup had a nice one. It's even completely plated, just put your green right over the plated rim and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think I remember that wheel either in the dreaded Revell (now Atlantis) 57 Chevy or the Revell 53/54 Chevy gasser kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 What about removing the plastic rim and using it with the photo etch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 If you have an all chrome one you could use translucent green paint. Maby larger flake metallic silver underneath. Thats what I was planning to do with mine only with blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
