Were you planning on doing it yourself, or did you want it professionally restored?

I did business twice with a steering wheel restoration shop in Pickens, SC.  Very small shop - didn't even take credit cards!  But FANTASTIC work - if I ever get around to it, I'm sending the 72-'Cuda wheel that I have to them.  Prices were very reasonable, I felt.

I can try and get their information if you'd like.  BTW I'm not at all suggesting that you CAN'T do it yourself, just not sure what your intentions were.
