Chuck Pelton does leather wheels, but it isn't cheap

You have any contact info?

Getting conflicting info now...most recent said he no longer does consumer parts, just offers his services to vendors

There are others, Google is your friend

They used to be called American Stitches but now Craft Customs. They do all sorts of steering wheel resto. But while NOBODY is cheap, I did have them redo my H/O wheel back in 2001.

But I couldn't find any leather to match the original. So I had a skin tanned and colored by a leather place in NY to match the dark maple grain and color. They were great to work with. I had to buy a whole skin. But I sold a lot of that off, don't know if I have any more of it or not.

Have no idea how much they would charge to do wheels nowadays. They're out of Texas.

Don't have any full on before shots of the steery wheel, but the leather wasn't in great shape. It was worn at the top ends as they usually get.

Agreed. It's the same place I found on line that I plan to use.

Halfway down the picture page are a few G-Body Steering Wheels. Looks like they do nice work.

This is who I used to re-wrap a 85' T-Type steering wheel I acquired, not cheap but very pleased with the work.
