"Wow! That all looks great. Need to paint them now."
Thanks for the kind words.
Do you happen to know the correct colors for the components of the steering wheel?
Do you have any photo-images that depict the right colors?

My interpretation of the colors.
Gloss Black: Hub. knobs, and handle ends.
Matte Gray: Same color as rubberized handles.
Matte black: same color as black plastic material.

I'd say the center hub is gloss, but I don't think the knobs are.
For the center piece I think I'm going to go ahead and buy a real one, but their crazy expensive. The ones I've been looking at the center is silver colored but it looks like they have made it look rusted on the picture.

Thanks for the color observations sly.
Kind of like the look of the stainless steel hub and aluminum knobs.
Drilled the five evenly spaced holes around the center hub.
Used a milling machine with a rotary table chuck to drill and counter bore the recessed holes.

Will be switching back over to my DOJ/Justice League batmobile full build time in January until I pull my engine/transmission and complete my frame and other structural modifications.
Used my Rhinoceros 3d 6 CAD program today to work on some design and layout elements.

| Looking forward to your progress. After working with the DOJ in .stl format for about a year it's interesting to see it in another format.

Made a few parts for another project today with a small 4 axis milling machine.
Hey sly,
Do you recognize the screen?
Mach3Mill 4 axis mode on screen.

Hey sly,
Do you recognize the screen? Oh yes. Sometimes I am seeing it in my sleep. 
But tell me about your machine! Where and when did you get it!? Did you make it yourself? How is it working? How do you like it?

"But tell me about your machine! Where and when did you get it!? Did you make it yourself? How is it working? How do you like it?"
There are a lot of desk top CNC milling machines on the market but www.microproto.com, the company I bought mine from has the best reputation.
Mine is a CNC Micromill 2000 with 4th axis rotary table. Costs a little over 3,000.oo
Bought it about 12-years ago. I have machined some very complex parts with this machine.
It basically can do most maching that a 60,000.oo CNC milling machine can do. But on a smaller scale.
With the rotary 4th axis it could easily machine the steering wheel center hub, etc. etc.
Go to www.microproto.com for detailed information.
You will be truely amazed by what this machine is capable of doing..
