'64 Custom Spinner Wheel Cover Restoration
Searched and found hubcaps.com but they lost their long time expert hubcap restoration guy a couple years ago and no longer restore wheel covers.
Anybody recommend somebody that does nice work at a reasonable price? My set has typical dings and curb rash. |

The Finishing Touch Inc. does do them but I have no real experience with them or do I know what it costs. You will need to talk to them and decide if it is for you.

I got a price from them last month for my 65 spinner hub caps. $4,000.00 for a set of 4. My caps were not trashed, only dings and scratches. I'm sticking with poverty caps. Way to much money.

Problem after all imperfections are fixed , they ding easier when installing them as the metal in the repaired areas is now thinner . I have been seen some repairs on the 64 spinner where they have not removed the rear perimeter ring & actually drill holes into the rear steel lock ring to gain access to work the dings out & that actually weakens the locking areas / flex.

Vintage Vehicles in Wautoma, WI has done some '64 spinner wheel cover restorations. They do very meticulous work. I'll find out what the price tag is.

I just came home from a visit to The Finishing Touch Inc to restore my "64 spinner caps. They have the normal couple of dings and dents and some minor scratches. They quoted me $2000. I'm sticking with the dog dishes-

Emailed Vintage Vehicles and another place looking for estimates.
I will try to find a local stainless polishing shop and hear what they have to say also. I'll polish them myself as best I can and just use them if they can't be restored for a lot less. Isn't gonna work for me at $2000. What plating was used on the spinner itself? It is potmetal, right? |

Chrome, just like the hood scoops, tail light housings, and other pot metal.... Then the inlaid letters are black.
