Restoring stock RX-3 steering wheel
anyone know a local shop that can re-do my 73 RX-3s steering wheel. There is one separation (less than 1/8") and it needs to be filled-in and paint. PM me as I know what will happen to this thread.

thanks

My apologies ahead of time. I am about to ask a real question pertaining to the thread topic. I promise to yell profanity in another thread later to make up for it.



What is the wheels made from?

Are they really that tough to patch and fix?

I dotn know the material. If its painted (without patching), the crack is hardly noticeable except Im just **** when it comes to restoration. The car has 90% of the original body and interior parts. I have another stock steering wheel in excellent condition but I prefer not to use it since its similar to the stock RX-2 SW or maybe its from a RX-2.

I just got a PM from another member to take it to a shop near Miller in Asuza. I will drive there tomorrow.

Junk that that sh*t focker! What's the point if your steering wheel looks good but the rest of the car looks like a pos, much like it's owner.
