    Hollywood Flipper Caps, Aerodiscs, Nationals, Calnevar, lots of names for these caps. In the photo below in the middle is one piece of over twenty two pieces I own of tooling to make several variations of Flipper hub caps. I purchased this tooling along with some inventory that twas left several years ago from the original guy who began making these caps again back in the 1980’s. Also in the photo are three caps made from my tooling that I own and one original cap. It takes ten pieces of tooling to make one cap. That’s thousands of dollars in tooling, when I purchased the tooling and business the old guy walked me through the steps to produce these and gave me his blessing and i am pleased to begin offering these caps again starting with a very limited amount that fit 1940 ford wheels-please understand that the purpose of this ad is to get the word out there that these are once again available and provide some history on my tooling to make them etc. (my tooling can make them for 40 ford and also wide-five 36-39 ford 16 wheels, and other applications) They are the old price of $600 per pair right now while supplies last and the next run will be ready in a few months with a price increase. I do buy used flipper caps too. So I believe in giving credit where credit is due so I just want to thank one of my best friends of over 20 years-Kevan Sledge, owner of @sledgecustoms for the inspiration and numerous pep-talks that convinced me to begin making these again. Kevan is a leader in the TraditionalCustom Car Community and does top-notch work, but you all probably already knew that! Thanks brother for all the encouragement! #flipperhubcaps The following images show one piece of the tooling I own, a close-up of the different style shoulder and sharp edge finish my tooling can produce and the variety of caps my tooling can make, some not pictured here too-gotta leave some for surprise!
    Thank You Ryan and the Hamb for letting me share this news here!

    Update: The last pair of caps from the current inventory have sold, I am looking to have more available in the next few months.
