Here are some Pontiac Wire wheel covers that I'll be grabbing some parts from. Those centers in particular.

I used some "non-Pontiac" dog dish hub caps and cut the center out and drilled 4 mounting holes for the PMD center from the wire wheel covers. The chrome on the centers was in pretty bad shape as far as scratches. I just used a course scotch pad in the air tool and gave them a brushed finish. I then coated them with a satin clear paint.

I was going to use the original rubber between the dog dish and the center emblem but they did not fit right. I taped the hole up with duct tape instead to try and save the painted finish on the back of the lucite PMD centers. Any scratches on the back would surely be seen from the front.

Here is the end result.

The set of four. I like em! and I doubt that there are many other sets out there like these! Anyone need some spare "spokes" from some old PMD covers!!!!

Hey, Scott, nice to see you update your Tempest page again. Yes, the Cameo red with white top would look best on that sweet wagon. And don't try to make it a GTO wagon. Let it remain what it is...a nice Tempest Wagon. Regards and hope all's well with you there. Cheers!!! Check out Serino-Hot-Rod member page. He's got a 64 Tempest wagon as well as many other "enviable" rides. Nice guy too from Long Island, NY.

Scott: I'm considering the 65 wagon on ebay right now. Unfortunately it's been GTO-ized, but nothing too serious. A big issue for me is how to get the car from Staten Island to Vancouver Island, and buying it sight-unseen. How difficult has it been for you to get interior parts for your wagon? I'm looking at replacing door panels and hardware as well as headliner. Can you recommend a good shop? Thanks...
