Steering wheel re do
I got the easy part all done, now the hard part. Sanding it down and getting it to look and feel right.
This will be going in the ramp truck when I install the tilt column I got for it as well!

Re: Steering wheel re do
How well what hold up, the plumber putty?
To be honest I don't know. This was my first time using it. I used 2 part body filler on the 67 SS Chevelle wheel I did a couple of years ago and it's fine. This stuff is suppose to be even better so we will see.

I hope it turns out as good as my 67 wheel did.
