Does anyone here know of anybody that can refurbish wheel covers? Specifically paint the argent silver on a cover and polish tbhe cover? I have a good set of used covers for my 61 Imp. that has peeling paint between the ribs, etc.

I bought an Imperial out of the auction in Texas. Found in the trunk was a set of rebuild hemi heads. They were placed on a rug, so they absorbed moisture from the rug. They are yours if you pay for shipping and handling.

Now to find some wheel covers!
