Re[2]: {Chrysler 300} 300H steering wheel

Noel heard from me that Dennis had health issues, and I heard it from George Zuk at the Asheville meet. If George is on the listserver, it would probably be best to hear directly from him on the matter. What I recall George saying is that he contacted Dennis in the spring about restoring a G wheel, and Dennis was in the hospital at that time and unable to do the wheel. I haven't heard anything further. I paid Dennis $2800 (plus shipping both ways) in January 2025 to recast my G wheel. It came back perfect, with correct marbled black plastic.

Dennis Crooks’ website is www.qualityrestorations.com.

A couple thoughts -

1) I’ve heard fairly recently that Dennis had some health issues. Also that his turnaround time was very lengthy.

2) His current going price, last I heard, was $2,800 to do one of our ‘60-‘62 steering wheels. That’s a far cry from the 2001 $1,000 invoice I have from when I purchased my F in 2005, from the previous owners who had the wheel restored in 2001. But 25 years and 90,000 miles later, my steering wheel is still looking great.

Many years ago I had my 300H wheel restored by Quality Restorations, Dennis Crooks. They removed all the original plastic, rechromed the rim, recast the two different plastics, polished, and returned it. Turned out beautiful. Other quotes I received were to cast the whole wheel in clear, then painted the gold section, and were less money. I didn't want to worry about the paint getting worn or chipping, so I went with Quality Restorations in California. We'll worth the extra money.
