Hi John, maturity is one thing but remember someone else will probably do something "stupid" with the money you did not spend on the car. Dont want to die with a wallet so fat it hurts to sit down and shuda,wuda,kudas left undone.This from a guy who is still not taking enough time off from work. Mike

Unlike many other automotive sites this place has always seemed to be one of civility and patience with all the members.The willingness to share and encourage make it a tribute to all the contributors. This is a direct reflection on Tom and how he maintains this fabulous resource.The internet change...

Hi Steve, I had mine done years ago and they have held up great. My understanding is that the most important part is to use a chromate primer.I had the shop match the color the wheels were already. I seem to remember a Chrysler silver shade as being a good match. Good luck,Mike

Great pics guys. While the new cars are exciting can anyone dispute the elegance of the vintage cars? Not in my book.Mike

Hi John, I was thinking the same thing and willing to volunteer. Mike

Hi P, welcome to the best site.A lead hammer is old school but there are sockets made that work great with no danger of hurting the wheel, Mike

Not being able to see both sides is it possible the disc should be flipped? Mike

Hi Rob, It was quite some time ago when I spoke with Mike about the McQueen Lusso.While he was very nice on the phone as I remember he did not seem interested in giving out whatever code he might have had.He did emphasize that it was a distinct custom mix and that I should not be misled by how it ap...

Great story ! Thanks M . Mike
