Blue Marble steering wheel for 51 Hornet

Anonymous · 2016-07-27T21:02:00Z

I had been looking for someone to recast my 51 blue marble steering wheel and could only find the company in Australia. I did not want to try and deal with an international relationship. Everywhere I checked in the US indicated the could not do the blue marble. They could only do solid colors. Finally I found Bob Denault with D and D automotive that indicated he could do it. But he did not have a Hudson mold. Soooo, I bit the bullet and paid for making the mold. As with most things Hudson, they did things differently, even how they mixed the color for the steering wheel. The black/ charcoal background for the blue would look great in samples but when injected the black would absorb the blue. The first casting came out almost totally black. He had to go back and modify he mold to change how the resin is added and mixed. The second one came out great. I just received the second steering wheel back and it is really nice. Bob put a lot of extra effort into making sure that the end product was nice. We now have someone who can cast the Hudson marble color and he now has a mold for the Hudson - at least for the ones using the 51 hornet style wheel. Seems everything Hudson takes a bit more effort!
