Well, the rebirth of our Dad's 32 low boy roadster continues. It is now even registered, plates and all. Let's just say that walking into the DMV with a 1955 transferable registration for a 32 Roadster leads to some interesting conversations.

That aside, the engine still needs some tuning, but is running much better. Thanks to the guys who provided input on that thread.

We now come to some of the niceties, in this case a steering wheel. The current wheel is not original. And at 17" is not real conducive to comfort in channeled roadster. My father is 5' 8" and weighed 140 back in the day. I'm 6' (got that from my mother's side) and 190 and find the wheel just tolerable. I'd like to find something that is 50's rod period correct in the 15" range. Any thoughts
