Re: 1972 Blazer CST Frame off Project in NC
So, I've been busy - too busy to post - but the good news is I have been busy putting my blazer back together!
I got it back from my painter on June 28th and have been slowly getting it together. The good news is this is the fun part. Its certainly not the fast part!
So, i'll try to get a lot of pics up over the next few days, but thought I'd start with what I did on my original steering wheel.
I had 5 cracks, mostly around where the wheel and the spokes connected. I drilled them our with a dremel, sanded to 80 grit, sprayed it with a 3M adhesion promoter, then used a 2 part 3M epoxy. After it cured for 24 hours, I sanded it with 220, than 400. Then my painter painted it and clear coated it. It may last, or it may crack again, but I like it better than the $300 replacements and thought I'd give it a try.
