Got my restored steering wheel back today!

[usraptor]

For those that didn't see my post in my restoration thread.  I'm very excited.      Got my steering wheel back today from Dave Tay at WOODGRAINWHEELS.COM.  I couldn't be more pleased with the results.  The wheel looks brand new.    Before I sent it to him most of the wood grain was worn away on both sides of the wheel and my poor attempt at duplicating the silver strips in the cover looking it had been done by a kindergartener who couldn't keep in the lines.  Anyway, if you're looking for somebody to restore your steering wheel, I highly recommend Dave Tay at Woodgrainwheels. com  Easy to work with, good communication, fair price and reasonable turn around time.    First two pics are before pics and the rest after Dave restored the wheel.

   That looks good!

Very nice,  thanks for reference!   

I have thought about suggesting an un-boxing page... Those who are into watches would understand.

Funny how unboxing a flywheel and pressure plate can make you feel like a kid on Christmas morning

  Kid at Christmas!  A present for the car.

That looks very nice! Makes sense to properly restore your steering wheel since you get to look directly at it and enjoy it every time you get in your car.

That wheel came out great.
If you don't mind me asking What did he charge and how long did it take?

Any reason to not post for all to see?

[usraptor]

PMs sent to 68bee, Topcat and Katfish.  The reason I don't want to post the price for all to see is that I don't want to lock Dave Tay into a price since every wheel is different ("well you did Brad's wheel for $. How come it's costing me more?") and the time to finish may vary depending on the time of year and how many he has to do.  If people are serious about getting their wheel done the best thing to do is take pics of your wheel and send then to Dave for an estimate like I did. He doesn't charge for estimates and like some others who restore wheels,  Dave doesn't ask for any money up front.  You pay when he's finished.  Considering some wanted money up front and others wanted in excess of $1K to restore a wheel, I was very happy with Dave's work, price and turnaround time.
