Hello all, thourght I would put in a word on the Steering
Wheel situation, I will at some stage be seriously looking at doing complete one
piece remoulds of Mopar Wheels, but I just have so much on my plate I do not
know when I will get the time to do it. However I am thinking I may offer a
Quality Repair Service if there is the demand for it?? Price would depend very
much on the extent of the repair required, but at a rough gess I would say
around the $250-$350us for a wheel with a number of bad cracks and or chunks
missing etc. Of course this would mean posting to me in Australia and you would
have the cost of return post as well, but it may be worth your trouble for a
quality repair? please feel free email me if you want to discuss it further, I
am always open to new ideas, regards George.

Thanks for the information. I am not looking for the inexpensive
solution here. I want it done right...but now you have my curiosity
up. What kind of expense are we talking about?

I "chased around" a lot looking for a solution to the
steering wheel problem on my '59 LeBaron.
It appeared impossible to find a replacement or
an individual/small company/anyone who could repair steering
wheels.
Eventually I found D & D Automobilia who
built me a new one. The job was excellent (a few other IML'ers have had one
built by him and share that opinion).
It is not an inexpensive solution.

Hello all:
I understand that there is a company in Florida somewhere who does
complete refurbishment of steering wheels to make them just like
new. Anyone out there tried this or aware of who does it? The
old man that I talked to who had it done couldn't remember the name of the
company that he sent his to, just said that he found them in
Hemmings. I could not find an ad for this company, however, probably
cause this old man had his done better than ten years ago.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks.
Teresa

If the cracks are VERY minor, they can often be polished
out.
