CUSTOM WHEEL AND HORN BUTTON

Picked up a pair of custom steering wheels from fellow HAMBer. One will be used on my roadster, while the other will be run on my T. When I mentioned to him that I own a custom shift knob biz, he instantly hit on how cool it would be to make a custom center cap for the wheel to match the car's custom custom knob. I broke out both of the wheels today and snapped some shots featuring a series of our hotrodshiftknob custom embedment shift knobs dropped into the recessed horn cap. Kudos to my fellow HAMBer for suggesting this. I'll be sending him a link to this blog. 

OPTION ONE: A SKULL


OPTION TWO: A BULLET CAP



OPTION THREE: A PIECE OF COSTUME JEWELRY



OPTION FOUR: A BUICK EMBLEM (TO MATCH ENGINE)



OPTION FIVE: A DIFFERENT SKULL




                                                 OPTION SIX: A CADILLAC LOGO



OPTION SEVEN: A YELLOW GLITTER WITH SUNFACE



OPTION EIGHT: A HORSESHOE



OPTION NINE: A LONGHORN IN ORANGE PEARL

A COOL-ASS STEERING WHEEL



Just picked up a custom steering wheel for my T. The basis of the wheel is an early sixties Belair wheel. Dog Dish Deluxe on the HAMB is a welder by trade and makes these wheels on the side. I'll either make a custom center piece for it or look for a way to integrate a Buick logo since I'll be running a 425 Nailhead in it. This sucker will be painted either body color or a complimentary color to the exterior paint color.

FOUND NICE GUIDE HEADLIGHT BUCKETS AND LENSES

Picked up a pair of 682-J Guide headlights from a Denver Craigs List ad. They're the real deal and in super condition. A couple of very small dings but no rust whatsoever and the lamps are in nice shape, even thought they're 6-volt. The cloth-wired wires and the attachment hardware are in great condition too. One less pair of parts needed for the Tall T.
