Father in laws christmas gift
I made for him, he's also a car guy recently finished restoring a 50 chevy truck and owned a body shop for ten years.
Im still debating if I want to add the second hand to it or not? I painted it chevy engine orange to match the ends of the hour/min hands. the flash kind of washed the flat black hands out though.

Hey novadk13, Hope you don't mind if I "steel" your "time" piece idea !
This will look great in my gearhead buddy's garage office, I'll be sure to punch a "timing" mark on the back of the sprocket.....

Yeah punch a mark few other guys mentioned the no timing mark thing, the whole thing including paint was around 30 bucks.

Re: Father in laws christmas gift
Hey novadk13, Thanks again for the clock idea !
I took mine a bit further, This gear set came out of my 355 after a hour run time (decided to go roller)...... 7 bux for the clock set 4 bux at the hardware store and a 10 year old can of chebby orange that was on the shelf.....

Looking good, i thought about doing numbers on the backside since the set had twelve holes but ran out of time for messing with it.
Btw he loved it already had a place in mind, his wife goes maybe you'll finally come to the house instead of staying out all night. I did end up putting the second hand on, I have a pic I'll have to upload at some point.
