Brent, for your steering wheel- I have used JBWeld! To repair cracks- it’s sandable and if your repainting your wheel you will never see the repair! And it’s strong!
I did it to my ole 52 dodge pilot house pickup and my steering wheel still great!
Love your work- love this project and can’t wait to watch you do the upholstery! 👍🏻
I’ve used bondo and had good luck with some sanding.
Edit: The steering wheel I did was on a tractor that sat outside for years and the cracks were really wide, After seeing the steering wheel here with the narrow cracks, I’d get a grinder and widen the cracks so there’s more room for the bondo or JB Weld.
Thank you Brent for the video. Always good to hear Esther’s input. You’re a great team. Funny as well. Thanks for sharing! 💯❤️👊👍
I can’t wait to see you drive the roadster with the puppers going down the road with his ears blowing in the wind. Great job Brent keep it up we love your videos !!! Hello Esther!!!
You might cut the rear trim on the fast cut, 3/8 aluminum? Round the edges with a router, drill and tap it from the back.
I loved every minute of this video. The attention to detail and the emotional journey were simply amazing.
hi Brent...i've repaired a "too big of gap oops" before on pot metal by filling the gap with JB Weld. I'd put masking tape everywhere you don't want the JB Weld to touch on the top frame ends, the rubber behind etc. then bolt the top frame and rubber in place then bolt the bottom half frame and rubber in place and fill the gap with JB Weld. Just make sure you sand the surfaces clean where the JB Weld is going :) a cheap fix....then the next day take it off and sand it flush so it looks mmuuaaa! haha. Or make your own bezel from scratch like you said...peace and thanks again for your videos!
From what you started with to where you are now......WOW!!! That's both cool and impressive. You have touched every inch of that thing top bottom and in between, color me impressed my friend. Great build, thanks for that.
I use JB Weld to fix steering wheels. Comes out good.
coool! The steering wheel is amazing!🤩
This is going to be a great hot rod! One for the record book. We all appreciate both of you for this great privilege. Best wishes.
Brent I use Rust Oleum and I really haven't had an issue. Except the 13 dollar price tag. But beautiful paint.
It's coming together sir Brent all in good time sir ,well done thank you for sharing
I tried reconditioning my 37 dodge wheel, a fail I gave it to Koch in so cal bueatiful work . They did my wheel ,horn cap w chrome ring, & shifter knob. All matching color..
Minty !
Love those clips of Pablo at the end of the video .
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
Hello Brent: you are making forward progress. Almost never as fast as you want but it is better than going backwards. You may have tried this product already.
I have repaired several steering wheels with it. For me Atacas seemed to work best. The bonding strength and working properties were very well matched to a steering wheel repair. They have a website so you can find product information easily. Whatever you did use seems to look good. Keep moving forward, and keep cool if you can.
Great job, Brent. Good to hear you, Esther.
If I remember right, you used JB Weld for making cracks and shaping the trim, steering wheel cracks, just a lot of stuff. I seen it used on Kenworth trucks for dash repairs. Since they have sever roads and other bad road conditions.. just cost would stop a feller from using that instead of body puddy fixs
Casting will ad another string to your bow , love Esters enthusiasm for everything, Would a couple of coats of clear on the steering wheel help ?
Metal casting is a cool hobby / art / industrial process . When I was in art college - one of the professors did an afternoon demonstration of
lost wax casting with bronze . This is the procedure where the artist designs a piece of jewelry or small statue or other small item . All of the
fill tubes must be taken into account . The wax is then suspended in plaster and is allowed to harden . Once the plaster is cured , it is baked at
a temp to melt the wax - then the voids are filled with bronze and cooled . Plaster is then broken off the casting and you have a completed piece !
I have had really good luck using two part epoxy putty for restoring steering wheels. I’ve done 3, and the oldest one (12 years ago) still looks great.
Good progress today. I like the two tone steering wheel.
The truck just gets better and better. Thanks for inspiring.Nicely done!
Hi Brent,I second Esther's motion...cast the rear frame in aluminum...step by step 👍😎
Great job, yah! Always a treat to watch along.
Casting is super easy and rewarding. I enjoy doing casting myself. I'm sure you will as well. Roadster truck is looking awesome
Luv that truck, you're doing some good progress ! But it seems that you still have a lot to do. Loved the video, and good music too. It was a nice moment for me so thank you Brent. Later
JB Weld Steelstik will hold it. You can even sand it into shape, especially for casting.
You can shape it with JB Weld to make your mold for the rear window ring. That is what I did in high school, back in the70's .
Back when we still had metal shop class. We cast aluminum as well as brass.
38C.here in SE Florida. Love your channel.👍👍
Its coming along great Brent. Its also nice to have the Mrs shooting some video and helping out.
Mr. Brent, progress is progress. You're doing just fine!!
Looking so good. Going to be a nice truck. Love your videos.
Coming along nicely Brent and Riders tank looks good
I wondered if you could plasma cut the rear glass molding from half inch aluminum then use a router to make the contour.
Thanks for another , Brother !
Hello Brent
Another good an fun video, ang good to see the kid are doing so good a job
The truck is coming along nicely 👍👍
I friggin knew you would give Pablo' the last bit ! Good job 😉🙃😎 NZ
I used two part epoxy on my steering wheel, came up a treat. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Nice work on the steering wheel,Brent and the paint color looks good…
Pablo looking at you like, I want half of yours too!
A few tips that I hope will help . Clean out the cracks for better adhesion and use epoxy to fill them in and use a clear coat with hardener to make the steering wheel more durable on the final coat 👍 I’ve done this process many times and it works great 😎
When I was in the Navy we had to make a lot of our own gaskets. To insure they didn't leak we cut them at an angle where the mating surfaces overlapped so that the tighter we tightened the bolts the better the gasket sealed.
You got something done that's what counts enjoy the build, I am for sure.
You'll get it Brent, I got faith in you bud! 👍👍🤙
Great video. Love to see you and Esther together in the shop. That steering wheel looks great. Look forward to seeing the casting and the top covering process. Be safe and stay well.
I always look forward to your videos brother you do some amazing work very impressive ❤ cheers brother
She's starting to come together, good video.
Hey Brent. Truck looking good!
Great video as always great looking truck
Love seeing your channel, great projects but looking forward to se the Coupe that was in the horrible fire (Been there myself)... A little tip, when i paint i use alufoil from the kitchen to cover areas i dont want to paint, type wires and other stuff... Greetings from Denmark..
Dude, your wife is so supportive, I love that about her!
You could use body mounts where the front of the roof meets the top of the windshield..just an idea..💯
Brent, use some Bad Chad flexible chrome. To finish out window after glass and your vinyl are installed. Flex chrome in auto stores all different sizes. Love your show. Clem from up state n.y.
Really Really digging this build! But very curious to see Ryder's quad in action
Brent, try using jB weld on old cracked steering wheels,. It works great, and lasts for ever.
Love what you're doing💚🇬🇧🌱 that roof is going to be a ball ache forever....
Loved the ending... "That was yours. This one's mine". Pablo was staring at you like.. there is more food and I want it. And of course you obliged. :)
The truck is coming along nicely. Maybe not at the speed you would like but do projects ever?
Hey Brent,
You might want to try some "JB Weld" on those steering wheel cracks. It's way more substantial than glazing putty. Maybe V-cut them out a little first.
Lookin Good!
Messing up your window trim shows your human. But Ester is correct casting would look awesome. Thanks Brent for the video
All kind of stuff done on this video, enjoyed it. Looking forward to the castings class. Silver/grey color as an accent color works 👍
You may have time to cruise out west with the truck.
Like, share and keep educating yourselves. 😃
Make the trim out of solid round bar bend and cut the back side off drill & tap. or tube and weld tabs to tap! great video thought!
Use some of the scrap from the window to see if you can weld the metal . The inside of the cab is looking a lot like home with the paint and touch up , looks kind of comfortable . I could watch you all day if the videos were that long , enough said , Stuart in Ontario ..
Try 2 part epoxy plastic weld for steering wheels ,dash pads , bumper covers etc. works good,amd sandable.
Looking fab
Brent, the pickup is coming along quite nicely! A later model GM tilt column with cruise capability would add better creature comfort and functionality, just sayin!
Looks great
The best rubber glue ever locktite 424. Make that window rubber one piece again
On your window trim how about cutting it on the Fast Cut out of 1/8 inch steel and use counter sunk screws to go through the original holes with nuts on the inside? You could paint it to match or use stick on chrome. Great video as usual! Take care.
Doing cracks in steering wheel the tractor guys use JB weld. heed to Dremel out the crack a bit before applying
We get a rare aperance by Esther. I dont know her personaly but she seems like a gem.
Painting definately can be a challenge, seems formulas get redone every odd decade. Sure is comming along Brent and Esther!
Bravo , beau travail et on attend de voir cette voiture rouler . ( même tes choix musicaux sont excéllents )
Hi Brent, You have a bead roller and a plasma to Build another rear window trim weld nuts on the inside of the trim.
Pablo is not doing his job, supervising.???
Pablo was on his break
brent its looking bad ass brother
Brent, casting isn't hard. You have to get the sand mixed right. I did it back in high school, over 50 yrs ago! Great video, I always enjoy watching. I think Pablo is human , just looks like a dog!😊
On the window trim, maybe tig welding would work. I had pot metal grill pieces on a cougar that it worked on. The area that was tig welded was easier to polish than the rest.
is a chevy truck rock !! bravo bellisimo trabajo !!
Brent I know you will figure out how to cast your own parts and do an amazing job of it
Ryder needs a carbon fiber paint job on the tank. Truck is looking great. Going to be a cool ride. Thanks for sharing. Our yorkie watches with me to see Pablo. Lol
You can purchase pot metal brazing rod and weld pot metal with an oxygen/acetylene torch. It is a low temperature rod so even chrome is left intact after brazing.
You are a really cool guy Brent
Happy Thursday
looking great sir , not sure if you thought ahead about the 'safety glass on door windows .. my chopped blazer you see in my thumb pic, but i had trouble from keeping it from 'cracking on leading edge so i ended up doing my side windows with 'plexy glass , then i tinted them with 37% tint and did all windows with same tint .. just a thought my man ..
Cool steering wheel I think it looks good without horn ring. 👍
Coming together
Your not done with the roof yet and it's already looking pretty darn good.
Looking better ever day your getting their.
Hi Brent. Dont use trash bags to tape up steer wheel !!!!
Use aluminum foil.. Mols easily and removing after paint is the best. Works good in the engine bay too
Haha yeah didn't have usually do actually.
Paint suggestion, “Rustolium industrial” sprays nice, dries fast.
Good stuff, stands up well!😊
Another vote for JB weld to join the parts. Then you could still use it as the pattern for your casting
The gap can be filled with a piece he cut off on the bandsaw. We're telling him what to do and the episodes are a good 3 or 4 weeks in the can. He's already gotten past this. In some cases, the timing of episodes gets very confusing.
Mann that is looking awsome ..I have the newer REVTEC.WHEELS that r copies of these ol torques .on my OBS.98.silverado..also slammed ..love those wheels next to ol cragers ..Rockets an Supremes I'm ol school aswell .looking great can't wait to see her done ...so get ur done lol😅
nice really like the way steering col. wheel turned out
Yes I'd like to see you cast it
Back window looks good from here. Olympia, WA
Make a cap on the window frame looking nice thanks for sharing
One benefit of going to look for stuff is taking a periodic mental inventory. Like the stuff kept because "it might come in handy later," remembering where you saw what you're looking for will be handy..later. But then, I think being a frugal packrat is a good thing, so....
Another great video Brent. I could see you plasma cutting some rear window trim out of stainless steel. or aluminum It'll polish up nice and for the stainless, you could weld some studs on the back to attach it.
love the steering wheel.
Dangit it looks awesome with the top on when it's painted it's going to great I'm loving it
