Priya,  how about a set of aluminum centercaps for your wheels?  I just got the first set completed, and can have more made; as many as are needed.

Yes, I'd like that Morten.  My husband has started making a set for me but he's gotten stalled on them and I'm still waiting.  Do you have a pictue of them you can post here, I'm not a member of AMCevolution.

I'm sure they can be made, but I don't have a sample to go from.  Not sure how those look.   

The ones for the Eagle 5 spokes will have to sell for $500 per set.  Not sure if there are enough people willing to spend that much.  I have to make 7 sets to get the price down to $500/set.

Wowzers! Yeah, don't count on finding 7 people to pay $500 bucks for caps. Is it material cost or labor that's so expensive?

Mostly it's the labor.

Hi Don,

Things are going well.  All the snow melted, but its snowing today.  I'm trying to get a few paint scratches touched up before I put the car away for the summer.  I'm driving it another month and then it swaps places with the Corvette.  Hubby's got the garage taken up with his truck now, he's putting a new motor in it and putting port fuel injection on a 4 barrel manifold, megasquirt computer, coil on plug ignition, a pre-oiling system where he can pump oil through the motor before he starts it, and so on.   Still haven't taken the holley off to see if its full of rust sludge again but its been running pretty well other than a brief bit of rough idle when the motor is partially warm.

           HI Priya Its good to hear every thing is doing well ..I looked at the weather map to see what kind of weather you were getting ....snow yesterday and snow today to ....I don't know if that snow is getting to the ground or not .....
          That is a large undertaking ward is taking on ....But if he couldn't do it he would not have started it  that is what
          I would like to do to silver....I don't like carburetors at all ....Injection is the way to go and the pre-oiling system
          is good for cold weather ....the coil-over plug system is the way to go ....he is going to have a crank sensor
          some where that is interesting ....you have the wheels turning now ....I don't know how that rust-slug gets in
          the carb I have two filters on mine and it still gets in there .....Ask Ward if he would let me know how that comes out....................don

The snow is hitting the ground but it'll be gone today or tomorrow as its warming up again.  Ward's got a milling machine and he milled teeth in the 360's harmonic balancer to provide a crank sensor.  I've got two filters on my eagle as well, apparently the rust sludge particles are fine enough to get through both.  Although they're not blocked I'm going to try changing both filters anyway and see if that helps.
