its a big task but with patience you can cunstuct your own steering wheel out of 3/4 inch plexi and sand primer paint that too much involved to get into detail but maybe you can look into that option

There was a D.I.Y on Car audio on that but they used liquid acrylic. Issue March 2006 I have it.

I remember that... and I have it right next to me as well...

To be honest there are several ways to make the steering wheel. CNC, Liquid Acrylic, AB Foam and Resin, etc. The question is though what is the specifics of the project. That will determine the best procedure for making this wheel.

Another thing to consider is level of skill... some of the projects in CAE aren't exactly for the novice.

Tell us the details as best you can, so we can offer the proper advice.
