Crispy steering wheel. What to do with it
I redid a 1960 chevy impala wheel for a 60 el camino i owned years ago. Filed the cracks to a wedge shape all the way down to the steel hoop, filled em with JB weld, sanded, primered, painted etc. It only had minor cracks at the spokes, and no repops of that wheel were available.
I feel that this one isnt like that other one. If it was minor like the 60 chevy one, i would have fixed it The steel wire in the rim is rusted so the plastic isnt even attached to it in places, just hanging there. Its beyond a restoration. The pic below is my replacement wheel, with a nice used chrome horn ring and center cap.
I dont have the time to fiddle around with restoring this thing, especially since i just dont have the time on my hands, and feel its just shot
