Nice Job! :thumbsup:
I've covered a few of my rallye wheels. It's great way to simply change the color or to cure the horrible 'sticky vinyl' problem.

For what it is worth, there is a company in Texas that does this work.   http://www.american-stitches.com/  I had them do the steering wheels for both of my 57 Buicks and they really came out nice. Not cheap, but very neat when it is completed.
