    I've never seen a "clear" metalflake steering wheel. Yes, they come in various colors but I've never seen a clear one.
    Where do you come up with that?

    moon eyes has a variety of colors

    I doubt clear is one of them

    I've been looking for a yellow (bright) but also no luck.

    the moon eyes wheels are made by grant if Im not mistaken.

    hit em up about a special run!.....just kidding:)

    Square wheels are cheap... this one's only $400! It is full of cracks though.

    Sorry-I should've put that in quotes, ie. a typical response from your average egay buyer. I also told a guy in another post that headers and a Clifford intake were just for show on a 235 and that I would gladly switch him for the stock pieces I have:D

    I saw a pic of one in a book about 60's customs.. it was a yellow/clear acrilic mix.. with fat metal flake mixed in it. Unfortunatly I didn't pick the book up.. I think it's a fantastic idea.. I've got a 60' Biscayne that I'm going to paint yellowish green with fat flake.. (think b*** boat) and would really like to have the steering wheel/shift knob match.. I'd like to use my factory wheel.. and $800 and some stupid dollars is not what I had in mind heh.. I'm gonna call that Steering Wheel Restorations company this week.. the only other place I found is in Australia.. and doesn't take out of country orders.

    Why not flake your existing wheel?

    Next time you are in the junkyard, look for 1957-60 (not sure about the years)Chrysler products. Clear, square wheels were stock or optional! I think that's what started the trend on later custom cars.
