I just went and got my 1954 Cal Looker at Buddy's house this evening all painted and it looks great.I also did all the detailing removing the compound from various area with a tooth brush.And a first coat of wax.Now my question to all of you is,i cannot make up my mind what style steering wheel to install.An original Empi or a Nardi like the one Stephan from DKP has in his oval.Let me know what you guys and gals think,also your input for other item you would think would look good on this project. Give me all your idea! Thank you Frenchy Dehoux DVB old school cal look Frenchy Dehoux

I'm putting a 50's Mota Lita on my '54, it's a great looking wheel, much nicer than a nardi. They still make them and will supply a boss to fit as well.

Break the mold and go for the Nardi wheel or early motolita.

... yeah, I like the idea of a Nardi steering wheel. Can you say biased view?

Mooneyes makes also some nice ones. One is called the Moon Woodie & kinda looks like the GT steering wheel [Moon (800)547-5422].

For all of you guys interested in purchasing a Nardi 'wheel, here is their phone number:

(800) 826-2734 - BBS of America.

Don't know if they will sell you direct; but if not they may tell you where to get it.

Hope this helps.

Frenchy, I like the one Inovations in Fiberglass Inc. sells. The picture in the Mags. are reversed though. The wood is on the right side of ad. They cost 125.00 plus the adapter. Call Ralph at 602-971-8396. The center horn button had a Wolfsburg logo also. I put on in my 67 and I love it.

if you took a stock batwing steering wheel and covered it with leather so you could still see all the grooves and everything, that would be so tight!
