Firebird and Trans Am Gauge Rings

Everyone who is serious , with money ready, pm me. I'll start an official list in this thread.

I will do any finished wanted.
Satin,Polished,Chrome Plated, or Powder Coated for the following prices.
Shipped and Insured ANYWHERE. not just the lower 48states.

.
1 set at a time if No body wants to jump in on a GP
your looking $300

5+ people $250

10+ or more $225

15+ and I'll reprice material as I get a better discount for a bulk order and save a good %.



For the price I feel this is a very fair deal and it is for all 4 rings. anyway you want them. Material cost is more then 60% of the cost.

I'm Ordering Material 2morrow for 2 sets. 1 is potentially spoken for already. and I will have one left sitting on my shelf available.

Some pictures of the rings installed as per the old thread with these links...

Re: Firebird and Trans Am Gauge Rings

I agree. I love these things, but $300 just isn't do-able for me.

Re: Firebird and Trans Am Gauge Rings

What size/shape stock is needed? Round stock would seem to be an obvious choice, but I'm not a machinist so not sure what will work or not work.

Re: Firebird and Trans Am Gauge Rings

As I told the gentalman above. Get me the material and your cost will be a fraction of that.

Alloy 6061 Aluminum Rod 5" Diameter, 1' Length
In stock at $112.04 Each + freight.

or

Alloy 6061 Aluminum Oversize Sheet .500" Thick, 24" X 24"
In stock at $240.72 Each

If you can get it, Im more then happy to machine it only for you.

Re: Firebird and Trans Am Gauge Rings

I'm with everyone else, these are bad a** but not 300.00 bad a**

If it ever get's to the 100 to 150 I'm in

wait a minute, there is an old thread on this same subject and they were like 125 and I wanted them then but they couldn't find the people then either.
