I would like to see original steering wheels reproduced. Especially the half clear and half red.

You can have your original one redone to be just as good if not better than the original.

About $700.00

Guaranteed for life and look better than new. He will be doing mine eventually.

$700? Wow. As much as I would love to have mine redone, I can't imagine spending that much on a steering wheel. I'm not a cheapo by no means but that just seems like a lot of cash for something so simple. LOL Maybe it's just me.

I just had mine done by the above mentioned. It came out absolutely perfect. That also includes a lifetime waranty. With shipping and all it was just less than (hold on) $1,000.00.
That includes chrome, color & clear. (The $700 Is for a single color)
I didn't want to pay that either but I decided I already spent more that I wanted to keep my car all original and # matching.

Ok we must be talking about different wheels. I have the one for a 68 w/ custom interior. It is black and that's it. So it would be $700 to have it re-moulded? Man that just seems like a lot of money...

It is a lot of money but as I said it is perfect. It costs around $500 to have one patched up. Remember this is all new plastic. There is not even 1 visible bubble in the clear.
If you want a super nice wheel just grit you teeth and do it. You won't be sorry.

I like the feel and looks of those cheap leather wrap's over the early stock wheels.
Had either a 70 chevelle or impala with a chunk of plastic missing, so i put in a section of rubber hose before wrapping it.
Worked great.

I got mine done last year by Doug Lepak (The Steering Wheel Guy) in Edmonton.

It looks new and cost me $635.00 plus shipping to and from. You can see the reults below.
