Chuck Pelton Steering Wheel
I got my recovered steering wheel from Chuck Pelton the other day and it looks great. I won't install it until the engine swap is complete but I thought I'd share. For those whose don't know, Chuck Pelton is located in Michigan and sell recovered IROC wheels for $150 on ebay. I had bought an extra wheel with every intent of recovering it myself but quickly found it wasn't within my abilities! I contacted Chuck, sent him my extra as a core and he sent back and perfect recovered wheel the next day. I would definately recommend one of these if you like the stock look and would like a "new" wheel.

Very nice, I am going to get one of those from Chuck as well. How hard is it to remove your steering wheel? We have the same car it seems (87 iroc, no airbag).

im in a predicament. When i was trying to remove my wheel, i took the nut off, threaded down the wheel puller, and twisted, one of the bolts that goes into the steering column broke off abotu halfway up the wheel puller, end result, i've got about 2.5" of threads sticking out of one of the holes i'll need to get out before i can ever pull my wheel off. I'd try to get a set of vice grips on it, but the way it's in there, there's not nearly enough room to get on it, plus i'd have to flatten a side down, which is also just about impossible to do. My thought is, cut the wheel's housing so i can get a puller on it, and go from there.

Panther,
Could you tell me how I can contact Chuck Pelton, (I'm in central Florida) I have a 92 RS steering wheel that needs some work and also the air-bag as well. I would like to know if he can cover them and if it is cost effective to go with the rework covers.
