Anyone watch Street Customs on TLC tonight?
 
Just wondering if anyone watched that show called "Street Customs" on TLC tonight? They worked on the 58 Nomad for Rusty Wallace. I've been trying to track down the steering wheel they used in that car but haven't had any luck. Anyone know who makes it? Thanks in advance.

Isn't that the West Coast Customs show?

Do you have a picture of the wheel?

Did anyone notice if the wheels were Boyd Magneatos or Billet Specialities Fuelies?

Yes I watch it.... I dont know why....

Everytime its ..."we have 10 days to build this custom one off car before the reveal.... I dont think we're going to make it"...blah blah blah.....

In the end the cars often look good (depends on the project and your taste), but I highly question the actual quality of the work. Doing the stuff they do in a matter of days and doing it well just doesnt fly......

my guess is that they actually have a lot longer than they say, but for TV purpose it's "10 days"..:thumbsup:

That's why so many customers don't understand when you give them a realistic time frame.., What 6 months? But on TV they can do it in 7-10 days LOL

Exactly! Plus if you say the show last night, when Rusty was driving it at the speedway the doors looked like they weren't even close to fitting or closing. It is pretty bad when you can judge gaps on a moving shot at a 3/4 angle. Complete crap in my opinion.

I know, I know, I still watched it! Call it learning what not to do. :willy:

Thank you. Fitment looked horrible. I hope they fixed it after they filmed the show (if possible).
