Looking for advice on Getting Steering Wheel Redone

I have a '79 SC, and the leather as well as the pad in the center are pretty warn. Anyone have experience with having the wheel fixed up? Should I just replace? Anyone that does this sort of thing?

Thanks

Rich

I bought the leather wrap from our host and replaced it myself. Never done it before, total pain in the ass, but I was happy with the result

I have had Craft Customs (Custom Leather and Wood Grain Steering Wheels & Dash Trim | Craft Customs) redo mine last year. Exceptional work, and about the same price point as Dallas Customs.
It's well worth the money - just love how the steering wheel looks and feels!

Same thing here. It looks great even a year later. It looks brand new and he matched the color perfectly.
