Beautiful work!!

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
Thanks Guys!
Greg, I took the wheel and used a pointed carbide bit and opened the cracks, Then used Epoxy to fill those. Then you can spray primer and finish like you would on any other part. Mark |
Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
Thanks Mark..I've been reading up on fixing the steering wheel and was curious how you did yours..on the epoxy..any certain brand or type you used?..thanks..

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
Wow, that dash looks new!

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
Greg, A 5 min. JB Weld (JB Quick) is what I used
Dries fairly quick (let it sit for a few hrs before sanding) then you can prep it as a normal part for prime and paint |
Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
Thanks Doug, It was alot of work getting it all done, but well worth it.
|
Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
Thanks Mark...ived used lots of jb quick...I just wondered if you had used one of the steering wheel kits...

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
A friend of mine used PC7 on his wheel, but it is a real pain to work with
