Default Just Got my Steering Wheel Reworked - WOW (Photos Included) INSTALLED

After reading a post by ilko (https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ed-2-11-a.html) on a steering wheel modification he had done by Cars Dream in Poland, I sent them a four spoke wheel for some work. I requested that they;

• Black perforated leather on sides
• Black smooth leather on top and bottom
• Steering wheel thickened
• Hand Grips
• Silver stitching
• All placement of thread and joints in original positions

It was not fast. I sent the wheel out on January 31 and just got it back today (March 11). But, it was well worth the cost ($280 plus $50 for shipping) and the wait. I wanted to have a period correct wheel but have a good looking and good feeling wheel. With the work they did on it I got both.

Wow, I like it! And a lot cheaper than a 3-spoke.

Nice, looks very classy! Glad it finally arrived. I still haven't had the chance to install mine... But it will be done next weekend!

BTW, don't you just love the way it smells?!?

Very nice Chuck. It's almost as nice as your old one.

Now find a leather airbag to compliment the wheel.

It's great to see that good old fashioned craftsmanship still exists. Beautiful wheel.
