steering wheel restoration

Well, that isn't what I wanted. I clicked on the fourth icon to enter a picture, but didn't get a text box to enter the link after I selected non-floating image. So, just the link appears. Darn it.

I got a picture of the wheel, but it's kind of small. I would like to see what you did.
 
On PhotoBucket, click in the area labeled "IMG Code":

Then switch to your BCF page, and paste the link into your post. You will see something like:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code:</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>

but after you submit the post (or preview it), it will show up as the picture:

Thanks Randall! So here we go:pictured below is the result of an elaborate project to save an original steering wheel that had a loose covering and rust spiderwebs under the plating, particularly in the spoke cutouts and on the back side. For those who have not inspected their steering wheel closely, I can tell you that the original steering wheel cover is rubber, not leather. The original molding resulted in a slightly foam inner with a molded leather-look exterior, complete with simulated stitching. I will start at the beginning on another post to describe the process I went through, and will advise you of the pitfalls I encountered along the way.
