hi eric,i have done some more work to you wheel,it doesnt look good yet,but it should when im done.
i jb welded it ,and then some epoxy after i sanded the jb,then i left it out in the below freezing garage,and now its in the heated basement,i want to see if it cracks,so far so good,next some filling with resin jelly it wont take much,and then sand some more and then primer and paint.

Especially not when you do it right like John does!!

I can remember my first boat, too- I was 16 and I bought a 1965 Century Raven to restore. I never got it done- I went of to college before I had a chance- But, then again, I didn't have the support that you've got from this site!

thanks guys,and i too remember is age,i had a old vega,that i was able to save up for for 100 bucks,boy did it use the oil,lol,anyhow i wanted to paint it and didnt wait untill i had the money for automotive paint.
so i used rustolium,and about 2 gallons of thinner,lol,that was my 1st paint job,it came out ok,but dull non the less.
that was my 1st paintjob with a gun and compressor that i borrowed,i didnt make alot back then as a grocery bagger at gee bees,lol.
i do have to give this young fellow credit,he sent a thank you card with the wheel,and i have been taking a long time on it,plus other things.
im going to bust it out,i know the suspense is killing him,like it would me,lol,lol,john
