Hi Robert,

I used 'Best In Show' steering wheel restoration in California to repair the cracked wheel from my 69 Chevelle. I have had it back from them for 6 years now and no issues with it. Contact info I have for them is 805.824.5002, www.rimblowrestoration.com

Are theses wheels the stock black wheels or wood simulated style wheels?

Mine was a stock blue wheel (since I have a blue interior), not one of the optional simulated wood wheels.

I can't tell by the picture but does your wheel still have the texture or grain around the rim? That is one thing I'm worried about losing.

Robert,

My wheel never had the pebble grain texture on the face of the wheel. In 69 it seems that some had the texture and some did not. I don't know if a pebble grain textured wheel could be repaired such that the repair in the textured area would be indistinguishable

Very nice pic of the steering wheels the blue one & that black pebble grain look fantastic… I know that the pebble grain was used on 69 Camaro’s , was it also used on 69 Nova’s ?
