Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
I got a bunch from work to start with and I'm about to go in the garage and start making a mess. The gunk is a little tacky so well see how it rough if not ill lay more and hold for another day.

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Well got down to sanding tonight so here's the progress and product I'm using
I started by using my triangular file's pointed end to dig out the designed grooves for the grip itself and was quite impressed how easily this task was as you can see most of the original look is back already with just one round of that. then I moved onto sanding the next 2 1/2 hours ( Note to self spread epoxy thinly next time ). Used 80 grit to knock down just about everything I'll soften the grit as I go through my phases. I felt pretty at home doing all of this I've watched my dad so long when he's done projects that I guess I got some of his talent finally ![]() ![]() Also does anybody know what this little symbol is on the backside? is it just a part of the wheel maker's mark or is it special? I havent covered it yet I probably wont ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Oh no discouragement here my friend I'm enjoying this project here I figured out when I restored my fathers Tonka truck that I get engrossed in the fun of a small restoration like this Steering wheel. But hey you need that truck on the road man lt me know I may be driving around alot farther when I get the new Mo-mo in my truck

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
The product is above its called Pc-7 two step process once mixed together like bondo it binds together and can be used to fill a lot of different products apparently. Ill et you guys all know how well it worked once this wheel is in use. Can't really get a good gauge on it right yet
crakarjax What kind of primer are you using on that wheel? Currently just rustoleum which I'm kinda curious if its the paint that semi cracks, if its just the cracks in the wheel trying to be filled, or the weather messing it up. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Be sure to light coat through out the week when you do rustoleum has a tendency to crack if the coat is too wet. Which I believe is the issue I'm having. But I'm being rushed for this so that's why. Thanks for checking the progress out.
