Hot Rods American Graffitti Coupe Steering Wheel?

I had one of the 12" wheels on my 57 Pontiac. Subconsciously, I'd stick my fingers in the holes as I drove. One day I did that and couldn't get my damned finger back outta the hole! This was really bad because the car had a 4 speed in it. Had my girlfriend with me and between the 2 of us we were able to horse the car to her parent's house and lube up my finger with cooking oil!.

 

Hahaha.....

 

Bob, remember when Vince Gilbert broke his finger when he smacked the curb while parking the Scooby Doo Chevy/shag van with his finger in the spoke of the steering wheel at Bell High?

 

This should have started "I knew a guy in high school"

 

So, what happens to guys who get their fingers stuck in a steering wheel? HA! they go on to moderate on the HAMB!

 

Better than your pecker...

That's one of the the funniest stories I've heard in a while here...Moriarity's lucky he didn't have to go to emerg...

 

So @Bad Bob are you gonna auction that diamond off and get some other neat parts for the Coupe...

I wonder how long that detail has been in that Hotrod?

 

Hey the only thing I can compare in embarrassment was doing professional overhead casting while fishing standing at the riverside and burying a hook in the back of my head...way past the barb...I snipped off the line and went to emerg and they cut it out of big fishhead Stogy with a few stitches...I still laugh over that embarrassing thing to this day...at least you weren't driving and did it while making a turn...

 

Hey you fellas still have those wheels...heck you might see it a swap meet...the welded cut would be a giveaway...just say hmmm wonder what happened here...

 

I occasionally do the finger in the wheel-hole thing in my '33. I need to stop doing that.

 

That must be the post wheel removal celebration...pan out, wheel in other hand...​

 

Just found this one… in my 1968 Speed-O-Motive catalog… same ol’Grant model 802 . Still no Covico or Ansen ads in sight??

 

I will say they used a 1971 vintage Ansen horn cap on that Grant graffiti wheel. See bottom right…in my 1971 Ansen catalog :

 

YES, I do....lol

 

A guy in Auto Shop, did the same thing! Got finger caught in his wheel, in his Bug. Had to cut it out.

 

Moriarty went to Bell?

 

Was it Cash? First name Steve I think. He wasn’t very bright.

 

I remember Speed-a-Motive, in South Gate. Had some real cool stuff in there.

 

No, it was a black guy who had the VW with the Rolls front and rear kit on it. Silver and grey.

 

I remember that Tommy Chong get up.

 

If anyone has an Ansen cap, I have been looking FOR YEARS. Please message me if you have one.

 

Used to have tons of flathead kits/parts.

 

You jest.

 

Jest I not for thou I specketh the truth!!! Pete
