A friend of mine redoes the stock steering wheels. He did one for my 65 GTO, and it is very nice. He said the aftermarket ones are junk!
PM me if interested and I will PM you his number.

thanks for the info. can"t see spending any time or money repairing what I consider an inferior product. I think my time and money will be better spent on an original wheel, not this piece of sh**t.

PY/Ames has had my 67 wheel for over a year now with no firm return date. They did tell me that I could get my wheel back with a refund if I wanted it or I could wait until it might get finished.
It has already been redone twice and both times the finish became tacky when the wheel got warm. I understand that PY/Ames is not going to take anymore wheel restorations.

Was familiar with the teardown process, the spike restoration, and the method to get quality "woodgrain after the cast-mold. The magic was the re-casting fella.
So, i wonder if the original cottage industry resource that did the casting, and the material used got "upgraded" in the past 8 years? |
