    « on: February 27, 2006 - 08:16:55 PM »
    Has anybody restored there Wooden steering wheel? I have a challenger with a basic wooden wheel is it just a matter of sanding it down and applying a new stain? Is the wheel solid wood? What color stain was used?

    It is plastic, the process that was used when it was new was developed by Kodak.  I sent mine out to be restored.  Doug Lepak is one of the best doing them.

    Sorry mate, I don't have a rimblow. I purchased a NOS Tuff wheel.  :biggrin:
    Seen his work and me and him got along well when I first came here....he's busy and hardly ever logs on, maybe once every 3-4 months. I have seen his work on video, email photos up close and on DVD advertising.

    As for the prices, you'll have to email him to find out.  :cheers:

    Thanks, sure is nice to have a good steering wheel.
    That was a must, a NOS wheel. After all that is the item that matters the most.
    Apart from the seat and pedals it's where you and the car make contact.  :thumbsup:

    Cheers,
    Carl
