It's actually Erik with a "K" like in Kevin. Now that shouldn't be too confusing, right?

Hey Pontiac62 that wasn't shrubbery, it was 30 year old weed growing out of the ashtray in that 68 SS396 on the hill. Be careful smokeing that stuff, it was sprayed with paraquat. Causes hallucinations and memory loss. My name ain't Eric either. Tell SS427 to stay away from that stuff too.

I got lucky and found that exact SS sterring wheel at a local swap meet last year. Paid $5 for it. It too was cracked, but not beyond repair. What I did to repair it was take some of the marine epoxy (the stuff in the tube that you pinch off a piece and knead it to activate), and filled the cracks. I then sanded it and carefully rescribed the ribbing on the front edge. Then, painted the wheel my medium blue. Came out really good, and cost a whopping $9.00 to purchase and fix. These wheels are out there, and no one really knows what they are. I was picking them up off eBay for a while last year and redoing them like I did mine. I sold a couple to people locally to use. I might be able to find a couple more....hopefully people that have them aren't reading this board (be very quiet all you Iowa folks)! Basically the same as the Pontiac wheel isn't it? I don't know the answer because I have never seen the Pontiac wheels up close.

The last nice uncracked one I saw on Ebay sold for $632. Restored ones sell for $300 plus on Ebay. They are a little different than the Pontiac steering wheels.

question Racefan, I recall a how to in one of mag's on wheel repair, is this the stuff they recommend?? how long has your wheel been repaired and a silly question but have you looked real close does it show any shrinkage at the repair??
Lasty what kind of paint did you use on the wheel to hold up to some wear, if you could post the brand of stuff you used to check out.

Thnx Bud.
