Some machines have vintage or special parts that are irreplaceable or to costly to justify
buying a new one. Arizona Hard Chrome can restore worn out parts to like new for many more years of wear and tear.

Vintage Offy Cups - Ron Trainor spent a great deal of time designing equipment and
fixtures necessary to hard chrome and grind Offenhouser cam followers to original precision specifications. During the
Offy hay-days of the 50's and 60's, Ron's father, Glenn "Bud" Trainor, a pioneer in Midget racing in Arizona,
rebuilt hundreds of Offy cups. Over time, the equipment for this procedure was discarded. Now, after many years,
we have received a number of requests for this service, so Ron was able to design and build new chroming fixtures and
a new grinding mandrell that is made to duplicate the exact radius of the face of the cups so that the valve action transmitted
from the cam profile performs as designed. This should be great news to those owners and rebuilders who have been
unable to find good usable cam followers in the past.
