Midlothian, TX Hubcap Restorer

I saw a Midlothian, TX (I assume since he did a Cadillac hubcap for Shorty) hubcap restorer on Shorty's Dream Shop but I can't find any information on him or his shop. Anyone know how to get ahold of this guy? I dented one of my pristine 3/4 ton caps and need to have it fixed.

Re: Midlothian, TX Hubcap Restorer

I will but I got a very curt message back from Shorty's email that "he" was not accepting any new work. I know Shorty is not accepting work but I was very specific about wanting to send work to the hubcap guy...still looking for him.

As a backup, Electoplating of El Paso does good work restoring chrome and stainless hubcaps and a a reasonable rate

Any good Chrome shop should be able to fix them.

You bet. Please do. Here’s a thread with some examples of their work. They’ve done my bumpers and many other chrome items: https://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vbo...d.php?t=783782
