What do they measure very top to very bottom?I am thinking of making some that fit for you guys that would not have to have the spacer.If I can keep the price down to half way reasonable.

Mondo · 06-11-2008, 08:16 PM

Looking forward to this, thanks

**Hart_Rod** · 06-11-2008, 10:24 PM

Good idea!

This would be great if they can be done w/o the goofy recess for the logo.

Mondo · 06-11-2008, 11:23 PM

I'd rather have no logo.... why advertise a wheel. I like the clean look better anyway.

Hopefully someone with Coys will give Mekdad the info he needs soon.

72BlckButy · 06-12-2008, 08:17 AM

This is going to be a sweet idea! I've seen caps for the TTII's that were smooth and some even have the Chevy logo etched into them. Can't wait to see the then result.

ttt for someone with a set of Coy's that can help Mekdad out...

mekdad · 06-12-2008, 09:51 AM

I was thinking smooth or with C10, engraved in them

fatboys69 · 06-12-2008, 01:37 PM

I used to work for another shop and we made custom center caps for Coddingtons ( for a guy who was building a HIGH $$ car to compete for the Ridler Award ) . They took a lot of machining time ( we surface the outer face ) and it gave it a "PRISM" effect and after polishing and plating they SPARKLED.
The lathe work was not bad, but we would load the part in the CNC and start it and go home for the night, next morning it was complete except for what ever engraving needed to be done. We even made a BILLET GRILL for this guy's 55 CHEVY. Here are some pics, we made a ton of ONE-OFF Billet parts for this guy's
55 Chevy and 37 Ford. Good Luck Hope it works !!!!! The owner of the other shop was quoting the "custom" caps to other people for approximatly $ 400 each. I would love to have a set for my Coys, but until I can get me a CNC mill I'll be waiting.

mekdad · 06-12-2008, 01:52 PM

I need the dimension on a stock cap for now so I can price material. Real nice work love the pics.I was hoping to keep the price for smoothies around $200.00 for the set of 4 they would be cut on the lathe.

fatboys69 · 06-12-2008, 01:57 PM

My truck is currently setting ( I am putting on new doors and updating some stuff ) so I can take one off and get some dims, what do you need ??

mekdad · 06-12-2008, 02:07 PM

The main thing I need is total thickness from mounting surface to top and what size screws they use so I can get some longer to work with the new cap.They used flathead,but I wonder what button heads would look like?

I think that would be sick! I never thought about the C/10 logo...

fatboys69 · 06-12-2008, 03:13 PM

After putting on the spacers, I had to get #10-32 x 3/4" Long Flatheads
Flathead lengths are overall lengths as Button Heads the length would be from under the head to the end of the screw. Hope this Helps. I will get you a length tonite when I get home.

*Shane* · 06-12-2008, 07:18 PM

I can help with that CNC mill when you're ready fatboy ... i'm now the sales rep for the Cleveland area.

let me know when and I'll help out all i can.

That would be great! Thanks for the info.

Hey Shane what do you sell? If you don't mind me askin?

AllenKarber · 06-15-2008, 10:40 PM

I had my spacers cut by terrellracing the file came from Fatboys69.

The spacers turned out great,and the price was very reasonable too!

I'm pretty picky,but I have no problems with the way the spacers look on the wheels. A set of caps like what has been discussed would be nice,but the spacers don't look bad at all.

I have a set that came courtesy of Shane & they're sweet. That being said, if I could do away w/advertising for Coys, that would be more my style.

fatboys69 · 06-16-2008, 10:06 AM

MEKDAD,

I dig that grille, that is the heat!!! (Please excuse the 90's expressions) Very sharp!!!

mekdad · 07-10-2008, 10:01 AM

Just a quick one I think its to generic going to do something different to make it better.The spacer is built into the flange.
