I still seem to get myself into some overwhelming projects, one day I'll learn.
If I didn't find the Hamb back in 07 when I was 19, I might have had a chance at being profitable in my life. Since I've become a member, I've...
Looks like the real deal to me! Nice setup!
Any time, and thank you!
They are cast steel then machined. Look up “Mcgraw Hill” books on stamping dies. There is tons of good information.
I am Alive and almost out of my hole! I have just been beaten down by some of my many commitments!
Thanks guys!
Got my samples in for testing. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Did a little mockup with some prototypes I had laying around. [ATTACH]
Damn Jeff! you always find the good stuff! that looks like the bottom edge of an auburn dash panel, maybe it was one? hopefully not!
Nice job! looking forward to seeing it progress!

That too, but mainly to reduce the introduction of gas into the pour. Try it in a glass of water you will see all the bubbles.
You want the out sides of the pattern to solidify first and fast to maintain shape, if you are getting “shrink” (can also look like gas) then...
That is gas, you can buy a sintered graphite rod, partially drill it for a steel tube and thread for a hose fitting. You can dip that into the...
Another tasteful addition. [ATTACH]
It definitely is, but I can't take credit for the machining or stamping of the auburn as much as I would like to since I don't have that big of a...
HRA will have one whether he likes it or not!
I wouldn't go any less than 2'' add shocks as well if you haven't. 3'' and up is usually smooth riding. also, you can bring that spring to a...
Heres another teaser. Disclaimer for the perfectionists, this is the first sample and there is a reveal line on the inner bead that is barely...
Trim piece embossment sample done, for those excited about original style trim. I will have both pieces done within a day or two and should have a...
Yes, working on this now. It will mimic the auburn speedometer.
Wow incredible find!! Thanks for sharing!
Marcus, yes the kit will be so if someone feels up to it they can adapt the face, the pointer, and bezel to a modern SW 2-5/8 gauge. They will be...
Thanks everyone, whoever is interested please send me a PM of what gauge sizes you plan on using this way I can get an idea of what hole sizes to...
Hope this helps, shown in IN and MM [ATTACH]
Thank you. I was hoping to have them ready for the Hershey AACA swap, but it will most likely be around December.
Since I haven't had the chance to open up my Don Montogomery books to snap some more auburn pictures, ill share some pictures of the massive...
Thank you! There will be one with your name one it, and it will be a fraction of what you paid for the last one.
Yes there are 5 versions being produced. 1. original auburn hole spec. 2. Original speedo hole and all 2-5/8 gauges. 3. 3-3/8 tach or speedo with...
