Here is the steering wheel that I restored on my 1968 SpecialDeluxe stationwagon. I utilized POR-15 putty to repair the cracks. I'm kinda proud of my work. What do you guys think?.............................John
John, Looks very nice. How big were the gaps before the repairs? Did you need to build up the fill, or did one application work? How long has it been since the repairs were made? I have a 68 wheel also that needs a crack filled. Thanks, Patrick
'68 Steering Wheel Patrick, I had a 1/4 inch crack on the backside of the steering wheel. Numerous 1/8 inch cracks on the rim. Two layers of the putty before the sanding was done, with 24 hours in between applications.The putty was applied about three months ago. Worked out pretty well........................................John
Did I Sell You That Steering Wheel? John-Is that the steering wheel i sold you-I think i sold you one.If it is then that's incredible! :TU:
'68 Steering Wheel Jeff, I have three '68 custom steering wheels that I've repaired. I just checked the others. Yup, this is the one that you sold to me. All the cracks fixed now, aren't they?......................................John
Wow! John-I can hardly believe that the same steering wheel.:eek2: You should go into business on the side refurbing them.Remarkable! Jeff
John, Nice repair job. :TU: Have been trying to find time to repair a wheel too. What kind of paint did you use and what color? Really looks good. Mark
