Great looking job on the wheel John. I my get my wheel done also. Skip.

Very nice. I like the "stripe" action on the spokes. The fact that they don't go all away around makes it look more unique.

thanks neil and bob,its much appreciated.
thanks skipp send it on over,also im redoing your horns,i wasnt compleatly satisfied with them so im starting over,lol
thanks mr 88,i was wondering if anyone would notice or not,lol,john

John,
That looks so cool! I'm really happy with it. I love how you did the blue stripes to highlight those grooves. Thank You!

Now I have to get going on the '60 Lone Star El Dorado cruiser the wheel goes on. Will you send the paint code or name so that when I get to painting the boat I can match the blue on the steering wheel as closely as possible.

Your work is absolutely beautiful. Glad you posted it up on the board and hope it gets you some more paying work. You are so incredibly generous to all the members, but just know with your level of work, people would be happy to pay you!

Thanks,
Paul

thank you paul,i cant wait to see it in the boat,as for the color match just take the wheel with you and they can match it up,because this is an anodized paint with mettalic ground coat,its made for motors.i was going to paint the name in the wheel white,but the stamping the company did isnt perfect.the edges would feather out,john
