Re: steering wheel shortening
Is it the pictures, or is that wheel more oblong shaped?

Re: steering wheel shortening
I'm sure it's the pics because I had to rotate them (from landscape to portrait) & resize them after taking pics of the wheel with my iPhone. You had me scared thinking something was wrong, because I built it in a jig & that I know for a fact that it is perfectly symmetrical.

Re: steering wheel shortening
I'm finally getting somewhere with this & I am happy with the results! Time to wet sand & then apply one more coat of black. Don't be fooled by the contour & reflection in the last pic, it is not crooked on the bottom Y spoke. You can see that is isn't in the first pic. Have a blessed day!

Re: steering wheel shortening
What’s a good size for the wheel? Does a 14” look stupid small?
