Found a CL ad for 4 Cragar Pro-Techs for $60.00. Three out of the four caps are in good shape, so I bought them.
Man, that is AWESOME!!! Would you take $4001.00? A dollar profit for your troubles? :D I think you should drive it just like it is, that is one...
Thanks C9 for the advice! I really appreciate it, a buddy of mine in a machinist and I think he could make some small covers like you suggested.
That chop is beautiful!
Attached pics with measurements. ID is @ 6.5", groove depth is @ .5". I'm going to run them on a '63 Pontiac Catalina.
Haha! No problem, just thought it was funny.
Thanks for the suggestion, except now I apparently have girlie wheels. :p
I forgot about the unfinished project part...
Here's mine:
I will go take another at an angle like you suggested. The original pic was from a CL ad I saw, this is an actual picture of my wheel.
Man, that is a sweet car!
Called them and need to measure the wheel bore and get back to him. Thank you so much for the tip!!
I will take a picture and post when I get home from work- thanks!
This thread is amazing!!! Makes me want to get working on my car right now!

Reminds me of a guy I saw who was doing some bodywork on a mid-80s Chevy pickup. The rear wheel wells were rusted out so he used an empty bleach...
Nice!!! Did he pay or just use his club?
The new look is great!!
Wow!!!!
Where can you buy this at?
I've been thinking about getting a welder, I have not welded in almost 25 years and this was an excellent warning to be careful. Thanks for...
Here is my work-in-progress... Getting front end steering/suspension components together. My son picked a dark red color so I bought a little...
Thanks, good to know... no point in doubling my work and removing too much metal!
I just did not want the bare metal exposed overnight. I'll remove primer to address the rust spots tomorrow.
Since I was done for the evening I sprayed a coat of self-etching over the bare metal to protect it. I really need to find the larger discs, but...
I read some other threads and used a 4" Paint/Rust 3M "momma's boy" (name given by another member) and it took FOREVER!!! Gotta find some 7" or...
OK, so I am trying to strip down a fender. I used a paint/rust disc (3M) and then after an hour decided to try a spray-on stripper (DuraColor)....
