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

Great story ! Thanks M . Mike

While I cant comment on the Ferrari world of the 60's etc, Tom's take on today is spot on as to folks fixing stuff.As I sneak up on 68yrs I note that I have been pulling wrenches both as pro and for "fun" for more than 50 yrs.At first it was to learn and also to be able to afford a car.It was just w...

H I Kerry, two questions come to mind.Are you unable to source non ethanol fuel and have you tried and failed to address the cause of the vapor lock itself? Best,Mike
