[kustomkoupe]

how much are hollywood flipper caps worth..the old ribbed kind that fit wide 5 wheels and such...not the new swoopy smooth ones...how available are they also?

I saw 4 at Carlisle for 125.00. I thought that was a good price. There was a guy repro-ing them. I saw them at Hot August nights about 5 years ago. I've never found any that fit the wide five Ford wheels. They made them but the non Fords seem to be easier to find. I just weld a Ford repro cap inner on to the flipper inner cap to fit the standard Ford wheels.

Both the smooth and flipper bar are still readily available. I don't know if older ones were any better quality, so I don't know that they would be worth any more, or how you would even know if it was that old.
