anyone got a good resource for this? The only one I found is nearly 300 bucks in the Dallas area.

$175 + $15 return shipping. It took about 2-3 weeks from shipping mine out to receiving the rewrapped wheel.
Don't forget to add $70 for a new horn button because your old one looks like crap on a "new" wheel.

I ordered mine from the place in Dallas and it was worth every penny. I was actually thinking of ordering another one in alcantara and selling my new one. If they will do it for me. I highly recommend them.

 

thx .. have emailed Chuck. His ebay says 225.. here, you guys are saying 170. We'll see what he says.

The Dallas price is just too much..

thx

The ebay listing includes sandblasting and painting. I would guess $170 is rewrap, and the extra $55 is the sandblast and paint. I'll be interested in the answer.

 

Subscribing to this thread. I need to have a early firebird wheel redone. I contacted Pelton earlier today. They asked me to send some pics. Waiting to hear back now.

 

Any updates or new info on this?

 

I had a couple IROC/Z28 steering wheels refurbished by Chuck Pelton several years ago, they still look fantastic today.

 

I did my own almost 2 years ago, and still holding strong. Not show worthy, but better than it was.

Need to have my 82-84 wheel redone. Been researching as well... most seem to be around the $300 mark for sites that specialize in it.

I see some locally on Craigslist but who knows what kind of quality job you'll get.

Hoping more people chime in!

Veaceonee, how bad was it to get the stitching tight? Wondering if I can order a kit and try it!

 

Did fierolover ever start doing wheels??? He does the e-brake and shift ****????

 

I didn't rewrap it. Took about three days for me to get it all cleaned off and redone. Don't have the money to get it rewrapped.

 

I'm confused, thought you recovered it yourself?

 

No..redid it, no rewrap. It is another option to rewrapping.

 

Another number might try is for Alangun leather in Plantation Fl. 800 780 4500 or 875 0606. For the wheel re-do.

 

People are generally wayyyy to cheap to have it done. We charge 300+.. It's not worth touching for less..

 

Ok, I was told by an owner at Camaro Fest that he traded his wheel and button plus 160 with Chuck. But that was a year ago and he sounds back logged now. I fly using the center post mostly so the leather is still good in the 84-Z. This leather did have a flatter black shade to it distinct from the shinny original however it was a well done sewing job. Perfect I would say.

 

Chuck Pelton just did my wheel a few weeks back. He had it done in a week, contact him to see how quickly he can do it, but there was no back log when he redid my wheel.

 

? Was it the shinny OEM leather or more of a flat black shade. ( which I liked when I saw it new on another car).

 

It's not shiny.

 

Chuck's diff in price may be due to having a core or buying one from him already refurbed.Ive had two done by him both were under $175 (w/core).Back then he would buy cores from you.So you could drop your price even more.Dont know if he does that anymore, but my leather is still holding up great after several years.

 

Very nice car.

 

If you guys want to redo your steering, I made a post on another forum on how to do it cheaply.

On page one you see how I did it for my GN and page two using the same technic I did my GTA wheel.

Its not absolutly perfect has a rewrap would be, but for me, its plenty good for now.

Well, don't leave us hanging... what'd you do??

 

I used krazy glue, sand paper (various grits) and SEM dye on my GN wheel.
And on my T/A I had to used a bit of leather I had.

Here my link;

Your GN wheel turned out awesome!

 

Very cool, might try that!

 

The OEM leather did not start out being shiny.

 

The only new car I've ever owned was an 83 Z and it had a shiny black leather steering wheel as does the 84 that I've driven for 18 years. Why I ask.

 

REMOVED

 

That's a really nice looking wheel from craftcustoms though whenever mine needs re-done I well likely see Chuck for that under 200 fix. Always did keep the dash and wheel covered from the Sun.

 

Spenc,, sent Chuck an email but so far no response from him.

 

Chuck did mine too. Awesome work.

 

For verification I tried Chuck some time ago @ 586-677-2719 and heard a greeting there.

 

When Chuck did mine, it was only himself and one other person there when I dropped it off. I had initially contacted him through eBay, he replied with a phone # to call. Try this, it was what he answered in November, when mine was done.

How long ago did you do the repair on the Buick Regal steering wheel?

 

Anyone know if he does Firebird wheels? Almost ready to pull the trigger here.

 

It would be best to just contact him to ask. His phone # is in a previous post of mine or you can contact him through eBay, but he'll probably just reply with "call me"

Thanks for all the nice comments. We offer our service at wholesale prices to the members on this site and that is why the price differences. All wheels are sand blasted and painted. Upon request, we will send some easy to use dye that will bring your horn cap to life. Be extra careful when removing the horn cap as it can easily break. Call and I can help. 248 363-5025

 

Chuck, I'll be calling you eventually about redoing my 1983 Firebird wheel. I'm excited to see what you can do!

 

Chuck,

Do you have any horn button assemblies available? I just bought a very nice 84 wheel, but it's missing the horn button. I've heard good things about your stuff so I thought I would check with you first.

 

I have one that is currently on e-bay. It is not the best but the price is good.


Chuck

 

Do you have a link or an item number for it?

 

You can use the link in my post above and see everything he's got for sale. You'll find it that way.

Posting for future..

 

I'm getting ready to send my wheel to Chuck Pulton tomorrow...
I finally found an extra wheel. I hate having a car that I can't drive/move for an uncertain amount of time.
I'll post it when I get it back....

 

Cool. Can't wait.

 

It will be the best money you ever spent.

 

Got my wheel back today

WOW
I'm impressed
I can't wait to install it

Maybe tonight or tomorrow
