Get a grip !!

[GR8-68]

Don't throw that old cracked wheel away, fix it and get a new grip on having the original. I have seen so many being ditched over the years, it is time to save what original parts are left. As long as the hub is not too bad that wheel you have may just be able to be saved. The following pics are the wheel from my 70 I decided to use as a practice wheel as the hub was shot on it. To the point of getting what I did in primer I had invested about 3 hours into it.


Before starting the project



Using the dremel to clean up the cracks and remove any faulty material



Using a 2 part epoxy to fill the cracks in



Once it hardens I begin sanding and shaping it back



Then I lay three to four coats of primer sealer to it and it is ready to paint the color of your choice
