Any of you guys have any tips on safely removing the hub caps on my ‘39 Hudson Coupe without damaging the rim/cap.  Thanks

Bob Drake (Ford Parts) makes a hubcap removal tool that comes in a canvas bag that works without chipping the paint.

You should get a set of plastic pry tools from Harbor Freight or some other source.  They are very useful for removing door panels, hubcaps, aligning hoods and doors, etc.  I use mine all the time.

Try some plastic leveling shims, found in hardware stores.  Small, easily stored, cheap.
