The dome unbolts from the back

Thank you Dave!

 

[polara71]

Dont thank me yet, lets be certain I was right

You're right. Three self tapping screws on the back side.

The verdict is in Thanks Dave & Bob!

I ended up with 4 light coats of Argent when I repainted mine.

He said cap, not dome....

The cap just pushes out.....maybe need a tap with something soft.

 

[polara71]

I knew what he meant

You had a 50/50 chance of being right.

Believe it or not Stan, Dave knew exactly what I meant.

You might exersize caution removing the cap from the dome. The cap is pot metal and rivited to the steel spring retainer. They fit pretty snug so remove from the inside by tapping around the steel retainer and not on the pot metal cap.

I knocked one right off the retainer once. The cap came off but the retainer was still on the dome.

I redid mine last november..... Blasted the rims, polished the chrome, Masked and painted the rims gloss black, masked and painted the centers silver metallic and then clear coated everything.
Their holding up well and easy to clean .

Will, those wheels look very nice!

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Those are 10000 times better than mine, but I'm only running them as is for now I'll blast and refinish them this winter.

Yeah, but he wants me to be wrong

They do look good, looks like your chrome was in great shape when you started

Will, do you have a problem with brake dust on the front road wheels?

I have Wagner ceramic front pads and the road wheels are a mess in no time.

My 300 still has the front drums...... But with the clear coar the wheels clean up easily.
