1971 Speedipus Rex

Next on the list is my custom hub and steering wheel setup - I got sick and tired trying to find a aftermarket hub for our bbodies so I decided to get one made. I like the bigger grips of the aftermarket wheels available for my big mits. I bought this hub, its for an ebody (what a heavy beast) but it gave me enough matierial to shave off what I needed.




I had a machine shop shave it down to this:



got it powdercoated black



old height stock wheel 5 3/8" deep



new height with MOMO steering wheel 3 1/8" deep



New 350mm MOMO wheel compared to the stock OEM one



I bought a 1970 steering wheel decal and was hoping it would be big enough to fit the whole MOMO button and it did, what I didn't know is about the 1970 decal is that the sticky side is on the picture side not the back side, so I took it to a local decal shop and got some made:





sanded the MOMO button (it has raised lettering, I sanded it down with wet sand paper until she was flat):





TA-DA! The end result!




I also should note that I had to bend the flasher more straight so it wouldn't interfere with the new wheel setup!
