Above: Plymouth wheel in high build; filled most of the rest of the cracks, but will probably need a few touch ups of epoxy.
Before I left work today I finally got the Plymouth steering wheel into primer. Since we don't have a paint booth to really paint in, we painted outside since it was decent outside. I sprayed 2 coats of high build on 5 wheels and the Plymouth wheel. I really missed that crew while I was away at school so it's nice to see some of those guys drop into the shop every once in a while. Les and Richard are some of the volunteers at the museum and shop and I haven't seen them since last summer so it was good to see them.
Tom is still patient with me while I get situated in the shop. Fixing the steering wheels is just practice for when the bodies come back from the sand blaster. Tom says I will get to do a lot of block sanding. He's really pulling me out of my comfort zone, which makes me nervous at first but I know it's so I can be well rounded when I get back to school. I never painted wheels before, or block sanded a car/truck/wagon/thing, and I've never used some of those tools but this shop is a really great learning environment and everyone seems easy to talk to or ask questions about things I may need help with.
