Default Who is Chuck?

I have a steering wheel that needs to be redone. Is Chuck the man? Who is he? Prefer to give business to the CF family...
Thanks,

Chuck Pelton is the man on steering wheels. Most aftermarket parts vendors use him. Super quality.

I agree. Chuck Pelton provides great service and excellent work. I had him wrap my OEM 73 steering wheel in leather to match interior color--got tired of the sticky feel and pencil thin wheel--big improvement; yet still has the stock look since I used the factory 3 spoke steering wheel.

Judging from recent and past threads ...
I think $150 and your restorable wheel will get you one recovered.
Not terribly cheap, but top-notch work that should outlast the original.
