    1963 Wheel covers

    I am in the process of polishing my origanil wheelcovers. Though the new JG manual has great pictures, it provides no insite as to what is accepital as far as finish and dents that can be overlooked. This is not a big deal, but is a question that I would like a answer for. I though that my weel covers were in excelent condition till I started to polish them. It was then I notice that there were minor dents that could be observed if tilted to the light, they can not be seen from 3 fet away in normal light but can be seen if the wheel cover is in front of your face.

    Next Question, Who is the best vendor to get spinners from I have seen some as being imported and some as slighty higher price with no reference as to weather they are us made or not.

    I like the new viewer and hope that I can attach pictures soon as I have a lote of befor and after to share after 4 years of work on my 63 Coup.

    On a nother subject, I just had 2 horns restored by Joe Perri and I cant beleve what a wonderfull job He did; they look great and sound great, and the price was great.

    My next trick is to get the spelling check to work with this new thred program.

    Hi Carl I have restored five or six 63 hub cap sets. You must keep in mind that these caps are chrome plated w/o copper coat as al good chrome is done. You need to go to a chrome shop and have this chrome removed. DO NOT have it acid removed as the caps may split. Then remove the dents if you have the expertise or have a good SS dent remover do it for you. Then buff and polish as needed. If you polish w/o removing the chrome you are just buffing chrome plate w.o the proper buffing procedure for chrome. Keep in mind that when the chrome plater removes the chrome they will not look much different than when you had the chrome removed. Email me if you have any other questions. Regards JR
