Steering Wheel Restoration and Accessory Wheel

One of the reasons I even bought this car was for the accessory wheel. Much sought after it is a gorgeous design and my plans are to properly restore this wheel.

However, This is a short term replacement stock 49-50 wheel with some minor custom modifications.

Check out the pics….
