Kelsey Hayes KO

[Dennis B.]

I have four KH KO wheels that are in nice shape. Does anyone have info on what to do and not to do in a restoration of these wheels? Is there a specific media blast technique that is best to use to remove paint and grime? Is it best to sell them restored or not?

Dennis Porka in the East use to restore these. I don't have his phone number, but with a little effort you can find him.

Chris Wickersham also restored K-Offs and 67 Bolt ons. He did my 67's in 1991. His phone number is (626) 405-9798 in Pasadena, CA , 9am-3 pm PACIFIC TIME. Chris is mostly retired, but still does Rochester Fuel Injection work......and who knows, maybe a set of wheels. At least he will talk to you with advice. Tell him I sent you.
