Joe Perri and GEN4 Restorations.
« on: October 08, 2019, 10:14:06 PM »
As many of you know Joe Perri, a legendary restorer of radiator caps, gas caps and original horns under the business name GEN4 passed away earlier this year. His talent will he missed. I read over on the NCRS Forum that an NCRS Member purchased GEN4 (tooling and inventory) in August and will be carrying on the restoration service. The new owner is Tim Bartsch and his number is 701-240-3750. I don’t have any information on his plans, services or prices other than he is operational at the time of writing. I am not affiliated. Would be interested in learning more about his work.

As a follow-up, I just purchased a restored RC-15 rad cap for my 1967 Corvette from Tim and the quality is exceptional. Shipping was quick, packaging very good. I'm pleased with the work.

Lloyd, missed this from when u posted and did not know Joe passed away. He did 3 caps for me and the one on our 68. Great guy and talked to him each year at corvette Carlisle.
His price back years ago was $150.
RIP Joe
