Antique Car Parts Repairs
For the antique car rebuilders who have parts that are non-replaceable,
hard chrome can be a gift from the heavens.
How Arizona Hard Chrome Can Help
Arizona Hard Chrome has repaired a wide variety of parts for antique cars
- from engines to drive shafts to suspension and steering parts. We have saved parts that most rebuilders consider a
lost cause. Because we are also antique car buffs, we take great pride in helping restore these historic cars in any
way that we can.
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.
