Re: [T3] Steering wheel resto

["Steve Bradley" <scscomp@mindspring.com>]

The boys on "Trucks!" (a car show on TNN) just did a piece on this.

They filed-out the small cracks and just used body filler to fill them. They
said to use epoxy on any large broken-out areas but, I think you could
probably just use fiberglass body filler on these areas.

When they got thought, they said to paint it with a "quality" paint. If I
were doing it, I would primer the entire wheel with 2K primer and then paint
it with acrylic urethane auto paint.
