RE: [Chrysler300] material that steering wheels are made of

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I believe I heard the original material was vinyl and that it is hard to
patch without heat.  Repair kits are old, but probably just contain epoxy
for repairs.  The wheel on my '55 Chrysler is deteriorated from exposure to
the sun.  I have a street-grade restored wheel that was filled and repainted
and now has some minor cracking where the big cracks were filled in and
painted over.  It is fine and looks a lot better than the original that is
still waiting a complete resto. shop that can do it right.
