Wow, VERY nice work! If I still had the stock steering wheel in mine, it would be in the mail to you before I had a chance to reply to this post

Don't base your decision simply on expressed interest, as it's been demonstrated here more than once that people often have trouble actually paying for a service after initially stating that they were gung-ho.
I just don't want to see you get burned.
The job you did on your steering wheel looks great. [This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 12-19-2014).]

Yeah the best way to gauge interest is to collect the money up front. That puts the burden on you to actually deliver though.

You should also hit up some Trans am forums for interest since they use the same steering wheel.

Given the time involved and cost of materials, my estimate on price would be $100-$125. The price would also depend on the cost of shipping the wheel back to the buyer (You will be responsible for shipping the wheel to me).
Given the cost of the bulk leather, I would need to do two wheels in order to break even, but I would only move forward if I had 4 confirmed buyers. I'm fairly sure that there is at least four members here on the forum in need of a steering wheel recover. For this first batch of wheels, I would be only be doing black leather, and you would have a choice between the euro-style pictured here, or the baseball stitch (seen on the back of the spokes in the pictures).

I would certainly be interested. I have one that needs to be done. However, with the limitation being that the first set is black I wouldn't be in your first set. If I could offer a suggestion. If I were to embark on this endeavor I would buy a few color lots. They would consist of black, grey, tan, and beechwood color lots. I know that means you would have to expand your payback window to eight steering wheels but it would also expand your pool of candidates. I would gladly pay $100 for a wheel to be recovered seeing as Dallas Steering Wheel charges a multiple of that amount. If you do decide to expand I have at least two to have done, one dark grey factory color and one beechwood factory color.
