    That wood repair is just incredible. I have no idea how that was done. Amazing work.

    After reading this thread I decided to send my 68 wheel to Bruce Crawford, what can I say this guy is a true gentleman, honest and a master at what he does.Attachment 592046Name: EFD31EFC-86DC-4C8F-941E-B0E9C1807214.jpg Views: 267 Size: 79.0 KB

    Think I've shown this before but here is my only current picture of custom wood dash by Bruce. Think the wheel was his work but went unused through two other owners before being mounted for the first time. In my '68 912. Gorgeous work. Even accommodated outside temp guage.

    Really like his choice of the black paint on the wheel. Not too dull or glossy.

    Also a good reminder- never use a wood wheel to push your car around. Easy to crack the wood.

    Anyone have a ballpark turn around time to have one restored by Bruce and a cost range?
    Thanks
