DizzyDale Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Dear Jim,One of the things i am working on right now on my 39 Zephyr,i am not sure if your wheel is made of the same material.I sanded all the old finish off to the rubber with 80 grit paper,veed out all cracks,filled with 2-part epoxy putty,primed with urethane primer-surfacer and will paint with a single stage urethane.Let me know if you need any more help.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_V12Bill Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Diz, Your epoxy fill will work fine on the solid rubber, painted wheels, but the later wheels are opaque and you can almost see the metal core in the wheel. A few years ago I saw a 46 - 48 wheel at Carlisle that had been totally recast. It looked beautiful, but was near 4 figures. The vender has been back since then but I do not recall his name.

Guest Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Thank you very much but the older zephyrs had their steering wheels painted while the '48 Lincolns have a maroon semi-transparent lucite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
