Steering wheel group purchase project UPDATE - 3/13/ 18

[BuickGS65]

Koch?s called today to confirm my order and color, said it will be done in about 12 weeks. They mentioned using Loren?s horn bar for fitting.

According to the reminder on my calendar, the steering wheels should be done soon?

[GranSportSedan]

are there going to be any extra's in the first run? I need one but obviously missed the boat

[GS66]

The wheels are probably going to production now, you might still be able to get in if you contact them.

the car is still on the other side of the country..literally

There are not extra wheels made. This required a core to be sent in and a minimum number of orders submitted.

Got a call from Koch's today.  My wheels are shipping today, and they should arrive this Wednesday!

Also, for those of you with missing horn springs, here's link to some info on Horn Springs:

  Happy to hear that Koch's is starting to get the wheels out. 

  Thanks for the update Dan,

Pics or it didn't happen!

So my wheels arrived last Wednesday as promised.

The quality is AWESOME. I had 2 wheels done (one in primer and one in black). I sent them two completely junk cores, and I got 2 excellent brand new wheels back.  HOWEVER, the clear coat on the black wheel reacted with the bubble wrap, and I had to send it back. Koch's was very polite and even sent UPS to my house to pick it up - they said "we will absolutely make it right."

THANK YOU again to Loren for another successful group purchase!  What's next?! :)

Dear Dan and mid-60s Buick owners who have cameras and aren't afraid to use them!

Your words are very descriptive but the pictures are even clearer!  Thanks for sharing them!

Cheers, Edouard

 So relieved that this project is going well and much closer to on the projected time line. 
 I'm certain we can find another project to work on in the future.  Together , we have accomplished a few already.

  Thank you to everyone that has helped to make all these come to fruition.

Nice!  Too bad about the bubble wrap.  They might need to let them sit a little longer before packaging them.

Koch's called me today. Looking like all the black wheel needed to be corrected was a nice professional polish.  The Las Vegas heat must've done a number on the bubble wrap/trash bag that it was shipped in.  Very happy, and the wheel is coming back home soon.
