Hi guys, I recently acquired a 62 meteor. It needed a bit of work, but I have experience with these cars so It wasn't as hard to get her together    thats the interior when i got her... Decided to ditch the padded cover since it was cracked. And since I was going to take everything apart, I decided to paint the dash the color I was going to paint the body eventually. |

 Now its looking more like a car..... lol   gave the steering wheel a quick clean and respray since I will be going with a mooneyes steering wheel for that custom look in the near future...  theres rainbow micro flakes in the clear to give it that extra shimmer. Its very eye catching when the sun hits it. |

I would appreciate an email directly to me doberdawg@comcast.net Also if you need parts, I probably have them Doberdawg, if you haven't found a fix for steering wheels yet.... a lot of peeps and some professionals that I know of take a hacksaw to the cracks. This makes them open up so you can put some JB weld into those cracks. I let it(the JB) set for a week to see if I may need some more. I then sand down the areas that need it, then paint. I used several coats of just regular enamel with light sanding with 800 grit sandpaper between coats. I used clear over that and so far it seems to last forever, but I haven't put a lot of miles on it either. I've done 2 that way and they come out perfect each time with NO shrinkage issues. I think I got the idea from w2zero a loooong time ago. |

Yep ca, that is roughly what I did to repair the wheel. I used the POR 19 bar of epoxy solid that you massage the A & B components together to activate and then fill the cracks. Had I to do it over, I would likely use JB weld epoxy instead. Should fill the cracks better. The preparation is important so it is good to remove old material down in the crack that is contaminated with oil and crud and leave it rough down in there so you get a good "tooth" for the epoxy to stick to. Then a long hot cure to see if it is going to shrink at all for paranoia's sake. My wheel had the usual cracks and gaps before.
