steering wheel recover recommendation?

Any recommendations for a steering wheel recovering? I am already contacting Tony Garcia, but would like a backup or two, just in case he is booked way out.


( I just got my steering wheel back from a local upholsterer...highly recommended, who after 3 weeks , called me up to tell me that he couldn't do it...."not a matter of being able to do it, just a time element". This is after he accepted the job and scheduled it to be completed 1st week of August. Put my project back a few weeks.)

regards,

Al

Al, I highly recommend a company called Dallas Steering Wheel.

http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/
No affiliation but I have used him in the past with an Alcantera GT3 wheel that I had him wrap for my 993. He did an awesome job and was reasonable. Im going to send my 380mm wheel to him in a few weeks to wrap a bit thicker like the RS ones. His name is Don and he will treat you right. I have exchanged several emails with him about the wheel Im going to have done so he is already familiar. Shoot me an email on Monday when I am at work and Ill forward my emails with him to you. If you can wait till fall maybe we can have them all done together. Dave (Cornpanzer) is also going to send one out. I also have something to send you to help with your glass install

Thanks Al! It is coming along nicely but still need the motor! I did get a set of original sport seats that Tony will be recovering very soon! After that, all the suspension and interior will be done. Im still way behind you though.
