Steering Wheel Resto
Has anyone painted or dyed their leather steering wheel? I have mine out of the car and want to bring it back to looking good somehow. Any hints or recommendations would be appreciated.

I would not mess around with it. Do a search for Chuck Pelton here on the Forum. I have seen his work on display at Corvettes at Carlisle and he rebuilds these wheels to look as new.

steering wheel resto. for a driver
Someone just did it recently and was quite happy and I see no reason why you couldn't make yourself happy. Chuck's work is certainly 1st class but if this is for "driver class" satisfaction I see no reason to spring for the restoration.
