I had heard a while back there were perfect reproductions??? Yes that was Dale's Cuda Shop.....but they're all gone, and I doubt they'll be reprod again with the recent passing of the owner

I have a Dale's Cuda Shop Tuff wheel, I bought last year at a swap meet. It's pretty close to OEM.

Agreed.. other than slight diff spokes cutouts location, horn button spring retainer attaching ( with glue ) and since I never felt how hard was the grip on originals ( repro rubber grip is hader than I expected ), they are allmost perfect pieces,

That's a shame! Who it was? Some member on Mopars boards around? If the bussines keep alive maybe new owners could continue working on them?! I thought the manufacturer of those wheels was another and Dale'sCudaShop was simply a seller!

Back in the day before REAL repro wheels ( not the ones offered by Grant ) were available, MCB offered a resto service making them on real leather. That was in fact their initial bussiness. You could choose between baseball seam used on laters Mopars or 90* stitch like the 71-74 tuff wheel period. You needed to send your one and the quotes for a full resto. were around $250. I wished but living overseas, the two ways shipping was killer. Are they still offering that service? Fortunatelly years later the repros came out and I went for those. I got one of the "blemished" wheels being sold on $60-80 rate by the seller on ebay ( quicksilver ) so could get it cheaper than the initial price ( $120-150 as far I recall ). I never found the "blemish" on the wheel I got so I was/am PLENTY HAPPY with my new steering wheel. My original one is storaged around locally rebuilt thought.

At one point I was going to get one of the Blems that Dales Cuda Shop has. But was unsure about the adapter to get a real good used A Body one or is there another source that is just as good. Does anyone reproduce them? I have a really nice factory (A body) adapter can... I bought from Stephens for my Tuff wheel.
