A little out of my forum but I have had good luck at the following sites: http://bobswheels.com/wheelpages/american/american_wheel_gallery.htm http://www.petepaulsen.com/ http://www.mrtorqthrust.com/

I have Western Wheel knockoffs on my 64 coupe and have never had a problem. No pins, just good ol attention to preflighting the car. No one puts them on or takes them off but me so I know their condition at all times. A little antisieze and a safety wire like John Z recommends and I feel safe...

I agree, Southern Electronics does excellent work. For resto on gauges you can't beat Corvette Specialties of Md., pricy but the best!

Appreciate the help Dave

Can't find my part number manual for the 64. Can someone verify these numbers as 64 coupe rear exterior window trim? GM # 3847982, 3847981 and 3841679. Thanks!:upthumbs

I've used Paul's chrome in PA and Oldntime chrome. Paul's isn't cheap, 500 for both rear sides on my 64, but the work is fantastic. They strip, clean, remove all waves and problems and then triple coat with copper, nickel, and chrome. The return product is absolute top quality show...

Mike- I have Western Wheel KO from the mid 60's on my 64. To ensure they remain on I faithfully check them before every drive and I take a piece of wire to "tie" the spinner to the wheel. Simple to loop on a spinner ear and wrap in the opposite direction of the removal. Never lost a wheel...

The land of fruit and NUTS! This sort of crap will decrese the value of CA vettes. I know I won't look at one that has been smog retrofitted. Tell them to blow it out of their exhaust!!

Collin- Looks great. Heading for Corvette Specialties with the 64 myself, as soon as the weather breaks. Ted

I'm going through the same process. I found both of these guys to be good to deal with. http://www.petepaulsen.com/ and https://www.newstalgiawheel.com/default.asp BTW the TT2's look great and I used 3 5/8 B/M with the 15 X 6's on my 64 Coupe.

Long Island shows 23 clips plus 2 corner clips....total 25. I've attached a page from their catalog. Look at parts 13A amd B. http://www.licorvette.com/pdfcatalogfiles/cat22/57.pdf

Thanks Dave. the TT II look great also. Do you remember the bolt pattern measurement . Also you can save me a day in the cold garage by letting me know what the back measure was if you have it. I found a set of Cragars at Pete Paulsen's House of Wheels with 3 3/8 back. Not to deep so a...

Had my knockoffs (Western Wheel no pins) off for the first time since acquiring the 64 Coupe in October. The spindels were rusted and I about busted a gut flailing on the spinners with a lead hammer. Wirebrushed all thread surfaces and coated with antisieze so they will be easier to maintain...

Thanks Wayne and Ron. First warm day, or when I get the garage heater going, I'll get back at it and let you know. :beer

I replaced the door handle on the passenger side of my 61 and things went smoothly with no apparent problem. When I tested the handle prior to putting the door panel back on it would not advance the pivot rod enough to release the door. Could not get it to work so put the old handle in place...

Thanks guys. Corvette Central is searching for the part. JohnZ thats a help!

EBVette - Where is Stingrays? I'm not familiar with the shop. My recommendation to you is to get in touch with Chuck Berge in the Haymarket area. First class shop and one of the best NCRS judges in the area, maybe the U.S. http://home.comcast.net/~chuckberge/Home.html

I'm tring to locate exterior rear window trim for a 64 coupe, especially the lower side to side piece. Can anyone help with a lead? Or if you have an extra from your restoration I would be interested. If anyone has a cross reference for body and trim parts I would appreciate it if you could...
