So good. Love this car! That steering wheel looks very nice for an original. Normally they're crazed around the spoke to rim area, and most have up to 1/4 inch gaps in the rim splits.

I have some MarineTek epoxy coming to fill what cracks there are between the spokes and rim. Glad it won’t take too much work.

I haven’t done much on the car this past week but did rough out the steering wheel crack filling. The MarineTek epoxy worked great. Flowed into the cracks nicely after I routed them out a little bit, but full bodied enough to stay in place. And shaped easily with a file and then sandpaper.
