Was pondering an NOS steering wheel or equivalent, but locating one that's mint is near impossible. Even if you could locate one it's a lot of $. Mine is real good, but there are two cracks. Being I want perfect, I figure a restoration is the best option. Anyone have one done recently, service recommendations?

A friend of mine powder coats, but the only black is gloss. Recommend a method to carefully remove the sheen to semi-gloss?

Also, can you confirm the original sheen for the inner fenders, core/radiator support? I believe the fenders are gloss and the support semi gloss. Anyone have their inner fenders powder coated, or is two part paint a better option?

Thank you
