Wow...that's nice! Can you give us that don't know him his contact info? Thanks

As long as it's not against CRG policy.  If it is, I can delete the info ASAP.  

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Mr. Perri, but he did an awesome job on my cap and his prices are very reasonable.

I bought both products on Amazon.com cheaper than any store had it.

Daniel is correct! I purchase ours at our local harbor freight and use a 20% coupon. PepBoys used to sell it as well but not sure if they still do.

Joe also provides a service for those who just want their caps rebuilt instead of restored to keep that patina for survivor or unrestored cars. Great guy to talk with. I called him a while back and he explained the whole proccess.

Best thing to do is send Jeff a PM or email.
Note for restoration-Joe can utilize whatever rivet you need for your application. For anyone coming to Corvette Carlisle, Joe is normally there with a space and is a great guy!
