Nice. They look sweet.

 

[efriedrich]

Those turned out great, good score on the dishes.

If they are all in that great shape that was the score of this century.

Really!
I paid $80 for filthy ones that I spent 4 hours and 6 beers polishing
AND I had to drive from Toronto to National Moparts in Beaverton to get them.
(Add $35 in gas).
Awesome score.

 

[efriedrich]

There are still deals to be had.

Hey Friedrich...
I'm still waiting to see those babies on your car. :icon_thumleft:

Kind of wish I didn't sell my cop rims with my old '72 Satellite. I had them on my 5th for awhile and looked really good. On the other hand, the stock rims that came with 5th's where 15X7 also, and about 5 pounds or so lighter. I've had my police caps for over 20 years and have been on 3 cars, think I paid 5 bucks a piece for them in the early '90's. I used to step on them in wrecking yards....:eusa_wall:

I recently cleaned mine up and painted the edges with engine paint and removed the overspray with steel wool...

They came out looking like this...

 

[efriedrich]

The plan is to start prepping the car for paint this Wednesday.

Awesome score.

I scored a set of NOS for Penny from a guy who was going to the local junkyard and buying wheel/tire combinations to sell the tires and scrap the wheels.

He approached me one day to dismount the tires. He'd only bring in three or four at a time so I never charged him. Just shot the s*** while I was letting the tire machine do the work. He noticed Penny sitting outside in the parking lot and talked about a few parts he had.

The next day he comes walking in with four beat up Mopar cardboard boxes. In each was an NOS dog dish. Repayment for me helping him out.

Letting the hating begin. :icon_mrgreen:


To the OP, gotta tell you I like the cop wheels done in something other than black when it really compliments the vehicle they're on. They look good!

Not necessary in my camp.
I worked for mine..
You worked for your's.
