I had my 61 deluxe, (aero), wheel recast at D & D restorations in NC. Cost was $1300.00.
Steph's wheel looks great too.

Beautiful, but out of my meager resources to do that. I'll have to get a steering wheel leather wrap and lace it on.

I started to sand down the Unibdy that was under the car a lot of cancer came off but I did not take photos the iPhone was on the charger but when I sanded and grinded I wore my safety glasses but when I got done I was a grub butt

FYI Steph. The bypass hose was on the engine when it was painted at the factory and should be silver, like the engine.
Your doing a great job, so is your dad.
