Just watched the last make-it video, though I would see the Canadian take on Australian hot ridding. Good luck, will check past videos

@markgriffin4888 2 года назад

Thanks for that!!!! Turned out EXCELLENT 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@bennettscustomsco 2 года назад

Thanks Mark! Much appropriated

@jimronchetto8592 Год назад

That looks GREAT!! What about going a step further and spraying a couple coats of clear so the paint isn't as likely to wear through, or at least not as quickly.

@bennettscustomsco Год назад

Yeah you definitely could do that forsure. It would take some miles to start taking paint off while driving but the clear would help

Nice job! I restored an F100 wheel with fairly large cracks, some were 1/8”. I cleaned up with a Dremel and files, then used PC70 epoxy paste for the first fill; after that was sanded, followed the same steps you did. it has survived the test of time.

@bennettscustomsco 2 года назад

Yeah I’ve used that before as well, it works great! Looking forward to steering the new project

@gregjobson4844 2 года назад

Great work, i didnt think it would turn that good, cant wait to see what it will end up on Cheers Greg

@bennettscustomsco 2 года назад

Yeah it came up really nice, the firewall will end up the same colour and a few bits for the new project! Stay tuned

Have you done the horn ring center piece yet with custom center? Since I have dad's coupe now I thought I'd see what you were going to do and maybe find a way to somehow make it a memory type thing. A picture, a tiny crescent wrench which he had tons of or something.

@bennettscustomsco Год назад

That’s a great idea! I want to create something for the centre forsure

@fredgillick3071 2 года назад

Nice job. Maybe I should look for old steering wheels and restore them. Give me something to do being retired. Take care and be safe.

@bennettscustomsco 2 года назад

Start looking! Excited to see what you find

@fishhuntadventure 5 месяцев назад

You should! It will keep you alive. Actually, though, I’m 58 and when I see people say they need something to do when they retire (or now that they’ve retired) it confuses me. I’ve been bored at jobs, but I’ve never lacked for things to do and never have needed to find something to do since I was 11 or 12 😆 I’m trying to reduce projects myself- I’m probably not going to live long enough to finish the projects I have on hand right now.

Did you ever do a video on casting a new steering wheel?

@scottmartin6955 11 месяцев назад

Wow cool I have a 1940 ford steering wheel that needs a little love ( a few cracks ect ) do you have the video we restore the sender cap if so can you share a link

@raycowan1387 11 месяцев назад

What are the details on the paint? what is the manufacturer and type of paint you're using and what would you suggest as any alternatives, as the Los Angeles area may not have yours? Thanks.

@bennettscustomsco 11 месяцев назад

Lessonal product- called ‘saint Mouritz’ I believe from memory it’s Toyota colour.

@gabrielgrigonis9840 2 года назад

Great video, I use a product called Marine-Tex it comes in white and grey. I do not know if you can get in Australia.

@bennettscustomsco 2 года назад

Awesome! I will have a look!

@karenjackson6224 2 года назад

Did you add gloss after painting the steering wheel?

@bdpgarage 2 года назад

Curious if you ever restored a wheel that wasn’t originally painted? My Chevy had one that’s either plastic (or Bakelite?) from the 70’s. Wondering if an epoxy filler on the cracks and then a thinned epoxy recoating might work.

@nickihermosilla Год назад

I did my 63 oldsmobile steering wheel a couple years ago using PC-7 epoxy. It seems like lots of people had good results but mine started to get some hairline cracks back after 3 years. Although its not nearly as bad as it was its still a bit disappointing. Im not sure if its just me or if it eventually happens to everyone.
