Thanks for the compliments. It does look great. Price was $550 plus shipping. I was hoping for something in the $490 range but it was not to be.

Something I found out while talking with the people that did the restoration; They can paint and clear coat any color wheel to match your needs. My wheel was originally this color but they apparently painted it and clear coated it to make the repairs invisible as opposed to making the patching material match the original steering wheel material.

The reason I am telling you this is, that I have a black '72 steering wheel that I picked up off of Ebay for under $20 dollars and it is not cracked or otherwise in need of massive repair. I could probably have this black wheel painted and clear coated for a lot less than what it took to patch my original wheel in 3 places and paint.

You might consider doing this with your '86? I'm sure it would be a lot cheaper.
