Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

I used the JB weld on one of the cracks near the hub. The stuff I used is in two tubes and mixes up pretty runny. I just put on a glove and smooshed it in, cleaning up all the excess. The stuff does shrink a bit but it sanded pretty easy and I'm satisfied. If you wanted a 10 out of 10 on a steering wheel resto, I'd get the spendy stuff and grind them cracks out. Be careful sanding too. The paint is pretty hard but once you get through that the black rubbery substrate that the wheel is made of is pretty soft. You can sand away detail pretty easy!
I also threw up picks of my high-dolla pneumatic power plant and spray guns! I'll give it a try with the black on the wheels, inners and rad support before I decide if I'll paint the sheetmetal with it. Got the steering box and drag link back on too. There was some PS fluid pissin through the process and some of the paint didn't stick real good by the fittings. I've got lot's of touch up do do on the front of that chassis anyways.

Goin out for sushi, firewood tomorrow and prolly Sunday too. We're on the verge here tho! Have a killer weekend!
