Location: Perth Australia | You got a pommie rocket to fix Chuck?
The clear wheels are a pain to fix short of re casting, you can only end up with a painted wheel
Must get around to doing the casting of my dodge wheels (buick got in the way )

Location: Upstate NY | I hope you find somebody Chuck. While the end result is really nice $1200-1500 is a lot of money for a steering wheel. Keep us informed of your findings. |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | I visited both internet pages and I do not have the impression that they (both) ever restored a transparent (clear, lucent) steering wheel like e.g. from a 1960 Chrysler. Happy restoring! Dieter |

Location: Perth Australia | No Dieter, pearlcraft dont do the clear, but they would repair the wheel then pearl it
Did you see the 2 toning they did, looks nice
Personally though, I like the clear

Location: Falcon, CO | I used D & D Automobilia for my '59 Sport Fury clear wheel. It was $600 back in '03, I'm sure the price is much higher today.
