June 11 +12 = Steering wheels 95% done!

Its been a long week but a lot happened...the groundbreaking ceremony for the museum, saying goodbye to my best friend for the summer, getting done with the steering wheels and a car show or two.
I feel like i've taken way too long on these wheels, but they were in pretty rough shape. They are looking very good now. I have them both in primer and ready for paint, but haven't taken a picture yet. But I will tomorrow morning before the paint goes on. Doug decided that both wheels were going to be painted white. A boring color but an original one. Steering wheels are what the driver look at most, since they're behind it, so I feel like they have to look perfect. Tom is probably getting frustrated with my perfectionism but he is still proud of me and I do other odd jobs in the shop.

I know I'm bored of looking at these steering wheels so I put this picture up of my favorite topless car at the XXX rootbeer stand for the Susan B Komen breast cancer charity car show. It was a beautiful day to have off work and it was 80 degrees today!
