I used a hacksaw blade to clean out the cracks. Used pc7 epoxy, files, sandpaper, primer and gloss black rustoleum to patch it up. Have maybe 8 hours into it. It turned out really nice. I'm curious out how the orginal material and epoxy expand and shrink over the next years. I'm expecting small hairline cracks but maybe not. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2269728600106367558qJBOcy | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Looks great.

And... do you guys know where to get a new center cap?
Mine is... okay. I'd like to have a better, or new one. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 52 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 52 | I just did mine with jb weld a month ago and you can already see the lines were the cracks were. Maybe ill try bondo my next repair. Also somthing to think about, my truck is sitting outside and the temps have been all over the place, a truck in a garage with consistant temps may not see the same effect as mine.
