STEERING WHEEL RESTORATION

[@JDWorkshop-wn9tt]

You’re the epoxy master! That’s the way to crack fix those original wheels for sure. I always like original steering wheels over jazzed up modern blingy stuff! Nice!

[@rlferv]

Jimmy Deresta called. He wants his steering wheel back. Good job, thanks.

[@damxgopak457]

I restored my 68 AMX wheel it turned out so nice I have bought several old wheels to restore and sell. most satisfying resto to do.

[@mateustrindade897]

Great job!!! Surely your video will help me to restore my 1951 Mercury steering wheel. Thank you, man!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@spiderlovesbeerotto2892]

Did you ever finish your 51 mercury steering wheel Mateus Trindade??

[@GuntersGarage]

Man you hit that one out of the park. Very nicely done! Its amazing what you can do with epoxies now.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@johnstrange6799]

The latest masterpiece. Great job. Looks brand new.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@jessejohnson159]

I have a '59 or '60 Ford F-100 steering wheel that I need to both resize to a smaller OD, but want to reproduce the finger depressions on the back of the new, smaller Diameter outer wheel. Watching this video, I figured out how to go about that process. Thanks!

[@davidarnette327]

What?! You didn't say enough of this! Nice job by the way.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice work show how to save the steering wheel on a classic vehicle. You saved the day on this project Buddy

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Lloyd!! Hopefully it fits the F-100, right now there is a little Grant Wheel in there!!☺

[@keithnoneya]

No audio! A silent Road King! When's the last time we didn't hear he had a repair opinion on anything! This must be Road Kings attempt at Subscriber humor. OK you got us Road, we want to hear your voice again. LOL. It's just not a Road King video without hearing your pearls of wisdom on your running commentary on things. Thanks for sharing. LOVED the color! Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

[@805ROADKING]

It worked for Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, I thought it might work for Me!!☺

[@rickolson9011]

My ‘69 Bronco needs this TLC! Very well done.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@Scodiddly]

A little bit of hand acting and high speed mime... like the experiment in video, love the steering wheel. Great job!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Didd!!☺

[@CaliCowboy805]

805 cali in the house. Great vid

[@dougvanallen2212]

Hey Road King I thought I was watching Jimmy Deresta the wheel looks great I'll see you in a couple of weeks at Washingtons crossing

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Doug!! See ya there!!☺

[@ziggassedup]

Works out well RK...Remember the Devcon I used on that VOXY engine...It's still holding up...It came it the other day for a rego check and she shad it hasn't missed a beat.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!! Yeah if it's prepped and mixed right epoxy can solve alotta problems!!☺

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Looks really good for only a half hour of work. LOL Nice job EJ.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks George!!☺

[@nashguy207]

Great Job Road King. The next time I need a steering wheel restored i know who I'M sending it to. LOL Have a great week!!!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bob!! Enjoy the Holiday Bud!!☺

[@dukesworld3020]

Good job Roadking!!! 👍

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Duke!!☺

[@greywolfdakota9350]

man that is a awesome job on that maybe I should have that done for my truck steering wheel it really needs it

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@wyattoneable]

This was an interesting format for you and a great restoration.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Wyatt!!☺

[@devonrex9624]

Hi Road King! As others have said I do miss your voice over. But, I do like seeing the whole process in one video. Very satisfying.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@firesafe8417]

I have to say that I was surprised that it was a silent movie, but I did enjoy seeing Road King save something that allot of people would have either tossed out, or overpaid to have restored.

[@garyplewa9277]

Wow, I was wondering why you were working so fast, then I remembered you were using quick drying epoxy. This episode reminds me of a feature found in the old Mechanix Illustrated magazine called the "Wordless Workshop". Everything was made, fixed, improved purely thru illustration. Great job. I wish you lived next door. I'd be bringing the Pizza as the price of admission.

[@805ROADKING]

I use to love them, a Guy named Doty use to make them!!☺

[@MrSilverado1982]

Thats a great Charlie Chaplin impression! Lol Also nice job on the steering wheel!

[@alexpowers3697]

Incredible work with the file--awesome man!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@tiporari]

Nice result. Give Roadking a big enough tub of epoxy and a file and he'll build a space shuttle.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Tippy!! Ya made me laugh with this comment!!☺

[@1stcavKilroy]

Miss the colorful commentary! Hope all is well with you and the fam!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! We'll be back to business as usual in the next videos!! We just did this to save us hours and hours of editing!!☺

[@nickboivin949]

Steering the channel in a different way wheelie don't know about this Roadking just kidding Top job as always one more part for truck done nice one. Going to Keep both hands on the wheel for the video.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Buddy!!☺

[@heyitsdrew]

what's that steering wheel made of? bakelite?

[@805ROADKING]

Nah, it's like a real hard rubber!!☺

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Nice job! Crockett and Tubbs from Miami should be there soon looking for the missing shipment of mid 80s cocaine.

[@jettpro6647]

Great job RK! Is your throat sore? Miss the running commentary. Also, in a previous video you demonstrated how the epoxy would not stick to plastic. Is this a different epoxy or a different plastic wheel?

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks John!! That wheel was more like a real hard rubber, than plastic!! The stuff I used was the same stuff the Pros use to repair wheels!!☺

[@melchristian3638]

Happy Labor Day Mister Road King

[@karlatkins5280]

At 12:55 mark you have a clear liquid what is that ? Didn’t your epoxy already hardened up on you ?

[@timothynewkirk2654]

Thumbs up RoadKing! I do miss your usual commentary! Is that wheel for the Ford pickup? ...Newk from Kentucky

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Newk!! Yeah it's for the F100!! We'll be back to business as usual in the next videos!! We just did this to save us hours and hours of editing!!☺

[@davekimbler2308]

Looks like an Edsel steering wheel , nice job !

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Dave!! 53-55 F100!!☺

[@RebChaim613]

What clear liquid was that to perhaps smooth out the epoxy?

[@805ROADKING]

Water

[@CountryBoy4ever]

If I had known you restored steering wheels, I would've asked you to do mine.

[@NoMonkeyBizz]

What Epoxy Compound are you using?

[@805ROADKING]

PC7

[@anajay78]

Fantastic job.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@Boot_185]

Where do you find that brand epoxy lol? But where do you get the cans I cant find it in anything but little tubes and takes so much when I use it its a big hassle.

[@805ROADKING]

I picked them up at an Army Surplus auction, there wasn't any name on it!!☺

Hello 805ROADKING Would you interested in doing a 67 Ford Econoline wheel?

[@regsparkes6507]

Nice Ford wheel. This will look great in/on your pick up. But,...I'd rather hear you as you work on things like this in future., I thought first the sound was gone on my computer!!

@@805ROADKING Yes I understand the process and I do appreciate your work too.

[@skycarl]

Gotta say RK that your epoxy gave you some good working time,,,, looks great pal.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Carl!! Yeah that's what I like about it, ya got plenty of time to work!!☺

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Is he using lacquer thinner to level and smooth it out??

[@SuperKONR]

Nice work!!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@danielkuchenberg7046]

I enjoyed the video and it was informative but it would have been nice if you told us what you ere using or at least held it up long enough to read the labels.

[@garylyon2867]

Nice job, what’s that off from.

[@dalegribble60]

I'm so hesitant to do this. I'm up in Northern Canada and worried that all that hard work will just crack and shrink again. We got some nasty cold winters.

[@joeo1352]

Looks great

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Joe!!☺

I can tell you're proud of that one, you seem to be lost for words... :P

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks George!! I'd be lost without it!!☺

It looked like it had a price tag on it before he started cleaning it up. What is the status of the pickup?

[@Darryl603]

It has a new steering wheel...

awesome thank you

Can u fix a steering wheel I have on a tractor

[@chriholt]

Awesome, that came out great! Is that for the pickup?

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Chris!! Yeah the Truck has a small Grant Wheel in there now, I hope this one fits!!☺

[@Cookiegrabber-]

You gonna balance that?

[@scharkalvin]

Road King, DDS. Loose your voice, cat got your tongue? Blue steering wheel? For that blue truck you've been working on? (How's that coming?) How much did the phone company pay you for rust-proofing their junction box?

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah it for the F-100, it's coming along slowly but we'll get there!!☺

[@TKevinBlanc]

Interesting color. Contact high when you use it? (Some of those solvents... man.)

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Don’t have much of a chance to watch now, I’m in Pt St Lucie, which could be ground zero for hurricane Dorian, Cat 4. But I need a break from preparation.

[@danthompson25]

Brother RK, What happened to your voice? You sounded horrible throughout your whole movie. It ain't the same, you playin' Charlie Chaplin. Your commentary is half the enjoyment. I was sceptical at first with the paint color, though I knew it was the same as your truck, but that horn cover made me see the light, Sweet Jesus, Hallelujah! Another great movie by RK Productions.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Dan'l!!☺

Hay RK I have an older ford shifter knob I'll give ya if you want it. It's acorn shaped with a round metal piece on top with Ford in the center. It needs a bit of tlc with a crack up the side but nothing a little epoxy won't fix.
