I am almost finished with steering wheel to make a mold to recast the 58-59 ghia steering wheels. The wheel I am using is really nice and once mold is finished, I will be able to recast some some very nice ghia wheels.

You do know that another company has been recasting them for a few years now?

I have finished steering wheel and will be making mold now. I am very pleased with how the finished wheel came out and will get a very nice casted wheel when completed. Will be ready to cast wheels in a couple of weeks.

Hey Ruben, I will be the Guinea Pig and be the first out of the mold whenever you are ready.

Working on mold right now, will let you know when ready to cast. You will be first as I do not have a ghia wheel of my own at this time. Very Happy

Here is the first casted 58-59 ghia wheel that I finished using my mold. I think it came out pretty nice. If you need one done, let me know. Thank you.
