1969-1972 Chevy/GMC Factory Steering Wheel Restoration

Alright well I wanted to be sure and document my entire process on restoring my personal steering wheel in my truck in all I probably have far too many pictures within the week and a half doing this little hobby of mine I'd have to say I logged around 18 hours or so into filling, sanding, primering, sanding, painting, sanding dirt out of it and finally painting once more. I don't really want to call it done but for right now I am going to enjoy it and see how well it lasts before completely refinishing the wheel. So here goes my 72 blue to black original wheel restoration process.

1. I started by finding a reasonable wheel on eBay and had it shipped to me from TX.
It was decent but had very major cracks more so then I had hoped but I was into it about 27$ total already so why not see it through



2. I ordered the Master Steering wheel repair kit from Eastwood's online store 55$ ( http://www.eastwood.com/master-steer...tructions.html )because I had to get the damn California special version because of these silly little tree huggers over here any who received this within a week contains the PC-7 two can mix 1:1 ratio that bonds and fills the cracks seen in the first/third picture featured in this thread.
