Lets see some custom hub caps!

I picked up a couple spinners off ebay a couple weeks back, more for wall hangers but when I stuck em' I kinda liked the look. The one in the pic is a 56' fiesta spinner attached to a later non spinner olds cap. So lets see em' cross bars, bullets, painted ones, ets. Johnny

 

55/56 Dodge Royal Lancer 15" with bullet added.

Heres another one I thought was pretty original, can't remember where I got the pic.

 

Not a spinner, but it is a hubcap.

Re-pro 32 V8 cap adapted to a slot mag.

Guess I could get the smooth version hubcap and knock out a polished aluminum blade for it....

 

Here's three pics of custom wheel covers I took at the Gettysburg KKOA show last June.

The 4th pic is of a set of early 60's vintage aftermarket (I think) covers I picked up at the same show, for my '55 Buick. The covers have a enameled coat of arms in the center, but I installed bullets over them.

 

.......a different approach..........

 

Something I threw together one night.

 

Dice............OLDBEET

 

And then of course there are the,"unidirectional"spiders

 

And the "other"direction.

 

Is N.Y/N/J the only place the entire custom community is addicted to 57 Caddys

 

I need to make 2 more of these for the back since no skirts fit my car. its a ford cap with an aftermarket lancer spinner.

 

Here is what is on my ford now

 

These were on a shoebox at some shows. The hood orn in the center does not turn with the wheel

 

hey tag man,,,that third pic from gettysburg is my shoebox....you have good taste

...pics from my Hubcaps Album

 

Can't go wrong with cal custom spiders on fogged wheels.....here's mine

 

What are some stock hubcaps that are good to use for custom caps? Where is a good place to get parts to dress them up? Trying to get ideas . later plmczy

 

Yeah thats a good question...where can you get crossbars? I know moons got the bullets but do ya gotta buy a set of repro lancer caps and pull the bars off of em'. I'd love to find some lone fiesta spinners minus the caps to build a full set of the caps in the first picture. Johnny

BTW thanks for the pics, there are some real ingenious creations out there!

plmczy, one of my favorites is the '61 Buick Electra 225 cover with a bullet added......

 

Those are cool. I found some caps like what socal's first pic shows,sans the bullet. I believe they were mopar. They had a couple of dings in them and there was only three of them. I should have picked them up. I could have found another I think. Thanks for the pic tagman. later plmczy
