[jim cear]

I'm looking for someone to restore a set of late 63 hubcaps. Can anyone make a recommendation? Thanks

Andy Cannizzo does a super job on these. My friend got a set restored for his 63 and they are drop dead pretty. He's backed up big time though so be patient. Worth waiting for. andy3651@aol.com Corvette Carlisle K80-81. John

Re: contact info

Thanks John for the plug but I'm not taking on any new work until I get my own car finished. I've procrastinated long enough and it's time to get serious!

Re: 63 (late) hubcaps

Jim, the spinner and the bars are chromed and the main dish is stainless steel.

The repair and re-chroming of the spinners and bars is expensive, possible more expensive than buying the repops as replacements. A good stainless restorer can remove the dents and polish the main dishes.

Saying that, you can do most of the work yourself and end up with an excellent restoration. As I recall you can get four spinners for about $115.00 and the 25 bars for $400.00.

Just suggesting an alternative.

That's 24 bars not 25, finger problem.
