i like what he did with the top column & wheel
i've read articles on resizing a big stock wheel down to a more modern size wheel for power steering
yes, V groove any cracks down to the steel, the articles use jb weld epoxy both time

if you want to resize the wheel cut it off the spokes and weld it back on the size you want/need
then reshape everything with jb weld or the epoxy you're using
