    60 Big brake hub caps, restoring??

    I have a set of big brake caps for a 60 vette. Can they be straightened, rechromed (flash chromed) and then repainted the black areas. I believe the painting I can do with a lot of patience. The straightening and flash chroming I was wondering if someone has done it and any recomendations of where to send. Thanks for any help or suggestions

    Ahhh, The delicate little brass caps...

    ...I have seen one 60/62 set "restored". Too me, they looked terrible, too much chrome, too much polishing, lacked detail, did not look original - BUT - were very shiny if that is ones goal. Maybe the "flash" chrome would work great. So far, I've been lucky enough to find very good sets with no splits and not in need of restoration.

    Bill, if you find someone that can do these caps right, please share the info. Best, Dennis
