Never seen one done, but it looks like a great idea.

Someone here was working on making a '67-68 wheel smaller but I haven't been able to track down the thread yet.

If I find it , I'll be back.

You would think that there would be a market for a small version of the original. I would love to have one. I like some of the after market wheels and wheels out of different vehicles, but the stock look is still my favorite. I just don't like the stock size!!

mustardjimmy71 · 03-23-2011, 01:16 AM

I know!!!

hotrodhomi · 03-23-2011, 01:20 AM

I would buy a smaller stock style wheel if they made it .

doctrouble · 03-23-2011, 03:20 AM

so... uh.... where's the sign up list for that?

**70cst** · 03-23-2011, 08:40 AM

I would think a smaller wheel would only apply to trucks with power steering. Driving a truck with manual steering with a small steering wheel sounds like work.

Did anyone notice the lowered brake pedal?

I saw him notch out the brake pedal arm and bend it. It is what the guy is beating on starting at 4:12.

And here is the one Foose did:

kelsfine69 · 03-23-2011, 05:26 PM

I'm thinking they just wraped it in leather?

**FL71C10** · 03-23-2011, 06:59 PM

I remember in the video Chip foose said something about sending it out to be finished.
