Interesting. Price is almost too good to be true. Wonder what they look like in person?

Looks really good in the pic.

Wouldn't shock me a bit if Classic just used the picture they had on file from when they had NOS wheels available.

Someone should order one.

It has the hub adapter too, doubt thats included.It kinda looks like a chuck pelton resto piece!

chazman

That's what I figured it was first, but the leather looks more OEM.

It probably is an OE wheel.Although the torx screws/rivets look painted too.

I am going to need one in the near future. Glad you found it & posted Chazman. Chuck Pelton requires a core plus shipping both ways. This seems a little less expensive.

Chuck pelton pricing is actually quite reasonable.

Chuck did my wheel and I agree, I think it was quite reasonable and he's excellent to work with and super-fast. Best of all, I still have my (mostly) original steering wheel.

Someone here needs to order one and report back. I love Chuck Pelton's work, but it's not IDENTICAL to OEM. Leather is different and rim slightly thicker.

Classic is about 15 min from my place and i was down the street from them yesterday.Never even entered my head to go look at one.

What does Pelton charge anyway? Not including the shipping. I haven't seen any recent reviews of his work.
And on a similar note, what's the latest for a repop Camaro dash pad? The contributors to this thread seem to have an inside track on this stuff.

His pricing has probably gone up, but he charged me $185 (IIRC) back about 2yrs, but that was shipping/core & all.

skinny z

$185 is a far cry from the nearly $400 for the reproduction piece.
I'd like to know how that kind of comparison works regarding having the OEM dash pad professionally recovered. At nearly $600 for a reproduction pad, it seems to me that would get you a lot a labour with respect to refinishing the factory part.

Id say about the same as professionally redoing a seat, whatever that may be.Id just redo it myself.

I thought Chuck was closer to $230 now. I need minimum 2 wheels done, possibly 3.
Can anyone verify price? Core charge too, so can't remember but I think $230 is his number if not higher.

He has posted offering $60 for cores on z28 wheels, so somewhere around that if you dont have one to send him.When i sent my 1st wheel, he said if a had an extra i could send it for a core discount.I didnt have one to send though.Now that i mentioned that on my second wheel i wanted perforated leather, which he doesnt use, so he let me send him my leather & gave me a small discount.So that $185 reflects that discount.If you call him he may work with you....food for thought.

I seem to be accumulating these steering wheels and all of them need to be recovered. I haven't been able to find anyone in my neck of the woods that is willing to take on the job either.

scottmoyer

I think I just paid $230 to get the '82 redone by Chuck. I sent him my original wheel and he redid mine. I had to wait a few weeks, but I was ok with that. The '82 still has it's original wheel!

Ive got my 84z wheel in storage too.Not pristine, but VG condition.Ive got two by Mr Pelton, sure glad i got them done when he was under $200.

chazman

I've got a few steering wheels, too. I was going to have Chuck re-do the steering wheel on my '83. He wanted $150 back then, plus shipping back and forth, which would have been another 20 bucks or so. I said how much just to buy an '82-'83 3 line wheel already done. He said $200 shipped. That sounded like a better deal to me, and I kept the original.

skinny z

That's still a better deal than the reproduction.
Has anyone ever inquired if Pelton does dash pads?

84 1LE

iTrader: (9)

Leather dash pad? Doubt it.I tried to get him to do my e-brk & shifter **** with my last order, he wouldnt go for it.That was then, now..wouldnt hurt to ask.
