the route i decided to take

[ProKiller]

I like it all but the steering wheel.

exactly what i was thinking. aftermarket steering wheels never turn out right. its not even that it's billet as its more fit of it and it not matching anything else in the interior. i would much rather see you try to put a s197 wheel in it.

 

[Slykin]

How the heck are you going to get the steering wheel to look right against the steering column? Not joking here.

 

[Tony]

jk but seriously Tony all looks good but that steering wheel needs to stay on low riders not muscle cars

man go to good guys, or the power tour, or super chevy, or all ford nationals. billet wheels are in just about every resto mod, pro street, muscle car there, lol. it's not a lowrider thing...just a custom thing:

you guys are thinkin of some shit like this or something, lol:

 

[Tony]

@ SLYKIN:






the problem with installing a billet steering wheel on an sn is the hub spline...this:

this is what allows you to turn your wheel. NO billet wheel company makes a hub adapter with these teeth. but however just this year GRANT steering wheels started making one to fit over these teeth:

not as smooth and clean as the billet specialties GM hub adpts. but will work fine.

the next issue will be that with the GRANT hub adapter it requires the use of a grant steering wheel.......i hate grant steering wheels. or any steering wheel you can get from auto zone.



so i will have to connect this wheel:

to this hub:

as you can clearly see....the holes in no way are even close.



so then i will just simply drill new holes through the face of the wheel:

and cover all the holes with a polished horn button:

when you remove your steering wheel the hole is round.....kinda looks like it would be rectangle but its round between the back of the wheel and the column

The thing with those steering wheels is they are for a round streering column we have a rectangular one..

 

[Nightmare]

@nightmare...even as cheesy as i am, i even think the diamond plate was gay. so no diamond plate. the truck was from like '01-02. so things have changed since then.




hooten knows wassup, lol. thanks josh

I cant believe that you completely missed the fast and the furious reference.....Tony, your car looks sick, and what ever you do to it, it will look even sicker....

 

[Musturd]

Ill prolly be putting a mono wheel or sparco or something in my race car. I love my momo in my fox and it goes great inside

 

[Tony]

once you take your wheel off there's a round hole though.










it would basically look like this...hopefully with less gap..idk?

ha i thought that was in refrence to that movie

ha man i dont get the itch to change my car at all only thing i wont is some subs and a 7 inch dvd screen and maybe some strobe lights in the headlights noting to much tho and my car is pretty much stock

No prob man, I get the itch to change mine all the time. you look at other cars and think if mine looked like that, I wouldnt change a thing. But in the end you would start changing things. But you have a good eye and you want your car looking top notch. its gonna look good no matter what, or else you wont be happy.

[belber095]

^that made me lol

 

[Knuckles@Empire]

every so often when i log intot his site i can always count on running into a good made by Tony thread. I like your ideas and have to agree that if you think Billet wheels arent used on muscle cars you really should get out more. My only opinion is that I genuinely like how it looks right now or how it looked not sure if you started taking it apart, it doesnt seem like it will happen but im hoping it doesnt look like to "much" if you catch what im saying. Like your trying to cram to much into a little space and there is just TOOO much to look at instead of just the right amount. Im sure youve figured it all out though so ill sit back and watch, best of luck old man.

[Tony]

lol, thanks knuckles! i think ya need to get on here more



but yea, def not alot of room to cram a bunch of billet shit...that i 100% agree with. i got stoked when i seen that they make a polished ford hub adapter, lol. caue i know how i can make things work...just from other customs i have built. but i think i get right to the edge of too much then stop.

 

[Tony]

my son made me a speedster cover at school today, lol. he copied a picture i printed off and took it to school and hand drew this on. i thought he did a good job. kinda really looks like one.

 

[whiplash473]

not really sure what to say in all reality......sick, cool, nice are starting to feel played out to me so im really not sure what to say bout the pic but its gonna be on another level of cool thats for sure

EDIT: your car is making those terms played out

 

[Tony]

whats starting to feel played out?

 

[whiplash473]

sick, cool, nice are star

the usual terms......everytime i see your car i say something like badass or sick or sweet or cool or slick but its getting to the point where i dont really know what to say.....with your plans that car is gonna be like one you see in a Fast Fords magazine
