I've decided to sell my Sunbeam Tiger wooden steering wheel and original horn ring. The wheel has been professionally restored by Quality Restorations Inc but needs a finish coat of varnish. The hub was completely removed and recast per the process below:
I remove all of the old plastic, bead blast the frame and paint it the same color as the plastic. Through my proprietary process, I cast on a specially formulated thermoset UV stable plastic in the original configuration without loss of the original detail. The plastic does not shrink, crack, turn yellow or change colors. The steering wheel frame is placed into the appropriate mold. The clear liquid urethane is tinted to the desired color and added to the mold. Upon completion of the curing process, the plastic is heat treated, sanded and polished. The color is uniform throughout the plastic and the finished product is polished plastic, not a painted wheel. The molded plastic is one complete casting, there are no joints.
This is a very nice wheel. The horn ring shows signs of paint loss but is also very nice.
$750 for both the wheel and horn ring.
Thanks, Doug
