Heres some pics of my daily driver. Its all stock except for the regal wheels. It wouldnt start today, I would turn the ignition on and the instrument panel would come on, but when I try to start it everything clicks off. I think I need a new starter.

Check your voltage and make sure your battery connections are clean and tight (check BOTH ends of the cables).

voltage is around 12 with the igition on, Ill check the connection of the cables that does make sense. I should look for the obvious first.

Also try jumping it from another vehicle. Just clicking with no crank could be low voltage too.

The cable going to the starter was loose, we tightened it and it was barely cranking so we replaced the starter. It works fine now,

Thanks! Yeah they look alot better than the spoke hub caps lol. They only bad thing is that they didnt come with center caps, and the only place I can find them is from GM. There only 20 a piece though, not to bad.

Google "chrome restoration." I see a couple places.

I had some small stuff chromed by Holley Carbuerators once but I don't know if they'll do big stuff. Not sure I'd recommend them either.
