Buick Steering Wheels

 

Buick Steering Wheels shown are representative of typical Buick Steering Wheels from this era. We have molds for almost all Steering Wheels from 1936 through 1966, and we are always making new molds.
To understand my process in recasting steering wheels, please refer to the web page labeled RECAST PROCESS.

The Process:

I remove all of the old plastic, bead blast the frame and paint it in the same color as the new plastic. Through my proprietary process, I cast on a specially formulated UV stable urethane thermoset 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 plastic 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.
