Steering Wheel center cap

I used the idea of Leroy B1 to create a new center cap for this buick steering wheel. I liked the look of the wheel but did not like the original cap and the idea of using a wheel center cap sticker just did not not cut it, so.... I got on the 'bay and found a 66 truck center cap on the cheap, popped the original rubber/plastic buick out and did a little modification and instant new look. Let me know what you think.

Re: Steering Wheel center cap

That looks nice. I have the same wheel in saddle and want to do the same thing. On my Chevys with Comfort Grip wheels I always just used the Chevy horn button that comes with them. But,that's a nice touch using truck parts.
