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.

We're temporarily not taking orders due to the financial department making cutbacks on staffing during our new facility being constructed in China.

Re: Father in laws christmas gift

Cam sprocket is backwards. I can't see the dot.

J/K, very nice. I have a GTA wheel thats bent at the hub. Always thought that'd be cool as a clock. Hence why I've never gotten rid of it.

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.....

Re: Father in laws christmas gift

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.
