  For anyone that is interested in taking advantage of the group purchase,  Your steering wheel core must be shipped by April 6, 2018.

  In order for this to work with Koch's,  they wanted them all at the same time.

Shipped mine today - will arrive Wednesday. 1 black wheel, 1 ready to paint wheel. I assume with the vast 1960s GM wheels they have listed, they have the correct black.

Mine is in the mail.

Postal clerk asked if anything dangerous in the box. I said, "Nope, unless it's attached to the car!"  :laughing7:

     My two are all packed up and ready to go out USPS tomorrow afternoon. If I send it out Priority Mail, it should get to the Left coast by next Tuesday...

Koch’s called today - everything arrived safely and confirmed that they will use Loren’s horn bar for fitment purposes.

Loren,

What's the shipping address to Koch's? Their website lists a PO box.
Thanks!

The shipping address is on the form that you need to down load and fill out. I had sent an email to all those that had expressed interest.

I will resend the email Mark.

  Hey Mark , No problem buddy.

 I sent the email, let me know if you got it , please. 
 
I decided to do it this way to keep the wheels together as much as possible for Koch's and I'm on a limited time frame.   Also the form should help Koch's with determining the wheels in the group price.

I reached out to Kochs to confirm they got my wheel this afternoon. All is well and the nice young lady confirmed the 12 week lead time.  She also said I was "good to go for the $350 deal".  Soooooo, it should be somewhere between $350 and $450.   :icon_thumright:  I am okay either way.

  We are at 14 steering wheels being done.  If there is anyone else interested in getting one done, you have till Friday April 6, 2018.  Then this will be closed.

 If you need a core , I have a few here that are available.

Thanks Steve for letting me know it is on the way.

I just got off the phone with Koch's.  The wheels will be done in the order that Koch's receives them. We are looking at 12 week turn around from when the wheel arrives at Koch's.
Koch's will call you when they receive the wheel.  Payment is directly to Koch's when the wheel is done.  They accept credit card, PayPal and personal check. Personal check will delay the shipping of your wheel till check has cleared the bank.
