id be down for a black one.

 

is that 20shipped? if so im in for a black one.....hell even if its not shipped id still take one..

 

It depends on how much the anodizer guys would charge me, but I'm guessing $20 + $2.50 shipping.

how bad would my radio get?

I'll have to do some range tests but I used the 3" one in the city here and the reception was perfect on FM. There would likely be noticeable noise on the AM frequencies.

cool idea! id wanna see how they look on though

I'll try to take some better pics... there is a couple here:

You'll probably want to read the limited site vendor agreement and PM a mod about this before you actually *do* start selling them on here.

 

I have checked out the rules but I haven't talked to a mod yet. I just want to see if there's adequate interest before I make a bunch. It takes me about a hour to do each one right now.

 

i'm down for one....if you are able to do red i'd take one, otherwise i'd do black. pretty sick man

 

What would you charge if someone wanted one a bit longer? Do you have the ability to go a little longer?


no ****

 

What were thinking? Like 5" vs the 3.5" we could say? I mostly just need to come up with a good way to support the end of it in the lathe, that and the extra aluminum cost. $5 extra I'd say.

 

i'd be down for one

 

Id probably be down for a 5", or 6" if you could swing it. But 5 would work too

 

Shouldn't be a problem, we'll work out the details when I go to make it.

Im with skitz on that one

 

and if it fits the camaro I will order another one lol

 

The way I would do it is to chuck it and use to tailstock with a chuck and a center drill. Then take out the chuck and use your live center and rechuck the stock. Turn it down and add your reliefs at the end. Then rechuck the stock and face the end to get rid of your drill mark and add your point or if you want you could add a dome to the end too

 

Me no unnerstanz!

 

Sorry. Lets see if I can reword this:


Chuck the hex stock in the lathe

Use a center drill in a jacobs chuck to drill a hole in the end for the live center

Take out the chuck and put in your live center

Rechuck the stock and turn down your OD and add your relief's in the end.

Take out the live center and slide the stock back into the chuck.

Face the end to get rid of your drill mark

Add your point or if you are feeling up to it add a dome to the end

 

I understand the jargon.

I think the main problem for me is the hex bar I'm using is too big in diameter to slide deep into the chuck, so the piece will have about 5" unsupported for facing. Need bigger lathe or smaller hex stock. (which is the likely solution as I didn't think so many people would want one and I don't have nearly enough aluminum right now )

 

ya with that much out there to face would be kinda hard on a small lathe. Some smaller hex would still look good too. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

 

I like running no antenna, and besides who needs the radio Or XM when you got Pandora.

 

x2, I tried to take mine off cause I have Sirius radio and the damn thing broke off.. Oh well.. :shrug:

 

These look sweet. Would make for a nice clean up from the factory.

 

Must resist......

I'd probably buy one in black.

 

Am in for the 5-6" one in Black,ready to pay-pal...............Rob..:thumbup:

 

Pretty cool, I may be down for one!!! I like the idea of the 6" one, the original is a lil too stubby IMO.

 

Team America...Fuck yeah! PM me when you're ready to produce. I'm in for a 6" black one.

No ****, you ****.
