Good job on them, patience is a virtue. |

Makes me jealous that I got rid of my hubcaps due to missing one. Now I have to polish those crappy aluminum rims 2 times a years. Man that is a lot of work.
Wished I would have saved mine considering what some are asking for those now.

It was a bit of work, but the vinyl detail tape made it a lot easier. Each cap maybe took an hour.
As far as getting the dents and dings out, that wasn't too bad either, not perfect but less expensive than buying NOS or sending them into hubcaps.com. The biggest challenge was getting the creases right, nothing a wooden down and grinding the tip down to the right shape. I thought the last one would come out the best, I think #2 and 3 look the best. I got a bit lazy on the 4th
