Good job Bill!!
That really breaks it down, I guess I'll be making two molds, one for the 5 and 7 style and one for the 2 and 7 style. I have a nice and clean stock 2 and 7 style, now I need a 5 and 7. Yes the cleaner the better, the chrome finish will transfer to the mold and save some polishing time.

Thanks Bill!

I got a good OEM 5&7 ring off the Samba coming your way. Let me know if it's good enough.

Well I finely got the mold done for the early head lamp rings, the first set is going to Bill, let me know what you think.

I kind of got a kick out of the the first one I made, I think they would make cool picture frames too!!

Like always, they look awesome! If mine on the bus wern't already powdercoated... but I do have a new project in mind....

What about the mounting tab at the bottom? Will it be carbon also and riveted on?

Good job Joe. Love the picture idea. I look forward to fitting them up.

Yes they will mount just like the stock rings. I'm making a mold just for the tab that will be bonded to the ring, no rivets
