This is my custom hub and steering wheel setup - I got sick and tired trying to find a aftermarket hub for our bbodies so I decided to get one made. I like the bigger grips of the aftermarket wheels available for my big mits. I bought this hub, its for an ebody (what a heavy beast) but it gave me enough matierial to shave off what I needed.
I had a machine shop shave it down to this:
got it powdercoated black
old height stock wheel 5 3/8" deep
new height with MOMO steering wheel 3 1/8" deep
New 350mm MOMO wheel compared to the stock OEM one
I bought a 1970 steering wheel decal and was hoping it would be big enough to fit the whole MOMO button and it did, what I didn't know is about the 1970 decal is that the sticky side is on the picture side not the back side, so I took it to a local decal shop and got some made:
sanded the MOMO button (it has raised lettering with wet sand paper until she was flat:
TA-DA! The end result!
I also should note that I had to bend the flasher more straight so it wouldn't interfere with the new wheel setup!

Awesome! I have also choosen to go a similar route with my project. Although i bought a new coloumn from flaming river, as well as one of their wheels. Had to fabricate both the upper and lower mounts to make it work tho. The wheel i choose is very reminisant (to me) of the 93-94 vipers, which coordinates with the 06 viper seats very well. I also had a "factory" style roadrunner decal made to fit my horn button! great minds think alike
