1968 Hurst clone

Greetings from Massachusetts! Just became a member and wanted to post info about my '68 Hurst clone. I bought it about two years ago and have gone full out to make this look great. From the red inner wheel wells, air scoops, dual gate shifter, 455 engine, you name it. People have different opinions about clones, but I really enjoy this car and get many compliments. I'm just missing one thing, a wooden steering wheel. All of the after markets reproductions are plastic to be made to look like wood. This is the last piece of my project. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can get the real thing?

Thanks,
Mark

Yes, there were a few posted in the classifieds, but the gentleman selling them has stopped for the time being.
