Default Steering wheel redone

I want to have my 1992 steering wheel restored. I know of a few internet places, but has anyone had any good or bad experiences? Thanks, Tom

Contact Chuck Pelton. Does great work and you get to deal directly with the owner not some phone clerk. :yesnod:

Had my 85 done and upgraded to the thicker 86 style and just love it. Looks like a new factory job. Top quality leather and workmanship. :thumbs:

He has email, but I forget the url.

Check my photos on the 2nd page of the album. I have some shots of the steering wheel there. :cheers:

The price of recovering scared me away, so I bought a wheelskins cover. Fits real tight, and beefs up my scrawny '85 wheel a bit. It's real leather too.

I higly recommend it. :yesnod: They also have two-tone covers if that floats your boat.

Try Chuck Pelton. I have been to his shop. He has done a lot of these and he does beautiful work. Chuck is a forum member.
