fixed my steering wheel

Because I have a lot more time than money right now I decided to fix my broken steering wheel. I really want to save up for a wood wheel, but for now since I'm getting close to getting my baby down on wheels I figured I better have something to steer it with first.
I used a product called p7 (it's gummy to work with but does harden and sand pretty nice.) and epoxied it after I got it glued together and added the missing pieces. then bead blasted the heck out of it to give it some tooth for the paint to grab on to, ohh and adhesion promoter too!
it' in 2 tone right now waiting on another coat of clear to seal it and final wet sand (I hope)


I still have to wet sand one side to clean it up but it's looking good

here is before color but after epoxy to seal it up. I forgot to take any pictures on the patching process but I followed the directions on a Australian web page to make sure I beveled things and had it prepared ok

I'm still going to get a 15 inch or so wood wheel but this will do until I get it.
