Expect to pay between US$1000 and $1500 depending on the
type of wheel and what is involved. The chrome pieces on my wheel are built
right into the wheel and they had to be replated before installation on the
new wheel. Therefore higher costs.
If someone is providing a repair service at a low cost it
may be worth looking into. The question is how will the repaired wheel stand up?
Sometimes the most economical approach involves spending more $$$ up
front.
If you want more info you can contact me off
line.
By the way how did you make out with the "rings" at your
tail lights?

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.
