Re: [Chevelle-list] Refurbishing Steering Wheels

[Mike Holleman]

I refurbished the wheel on my 65 elky over five years ago. It has not cracked or peeled with over 18,000 miles on it. I painted it and the dash and colume with black imron.

My interior is black and wondering if anyone has had a steering wheel refurbished to a color matching their interior? Can a light blue one be easily redone to black with lasting results? Any input whether you refurbished yourself or sent it out would be appreciated. Also if anyone has a '66 steering wheel available let me know. '66 only had 2 steering wheels - a wood wheel option and the standard wheel which went in Malibu's and SS's alike. Thanks, Krister Meister Bloomingdale, IL '66 SS #'s
