custom center caps

Well...I tried the VTO logos, the plain caps, no caps
and even some logos for AH from Moss.
None did it for me.
I had these custom made. I like 'em!
What says the Spridget crowd?

Place made me a couple of these in sparkle red.
His choice. He also made extras and a set which
is in thicker stock.
These are thin. How durable? Doesn't matter. Mimi
doesn't see action unless the conditions are optimal.
Cost me about 30 bucks total.
Cap sizes vary.
Custom work is seldom the cost effective way.
Any sign shop can do this. Tell them EXACTLY
what you want. I supervised.

Very nice, but it looks like there might be a little water-spotting on your spoke....

I noticed that too. Last time I washed it we immediately
went for a run. It needs some TLC. Better weather this weekend.
I think I'll clean 'er up. Go for a spin.
Speaking of details....
Notice the reflection of those Classic 8 VTOs the wife's B is sporting. I can't believe an Iphone takes this sharp
a picture. Gee whiz.

Water spots, LOL, funny, brake dust covered front wheels meant you had a good time that day :smile: I like a clean sport car, but getting it dirty is way more fun than getting it clean.

Thats what always got me about car shows, sitting around all day in lounge chair in the middle of a field, waiting for $10 throphy that may, or may not come your way, vs driving them on the back roads as they were intended to be used. I think David has the right idea.

This is what I did to your wheels Hap.
Steering wheel logo from Moss.
sorry about the focus, must have been after the beer run.

Scott, I'm digging it, and betting David has already ordered a set of those :smile: Those look awesome, and the fit looks perfect.

Those do look super! I had thought of those but for my black
spoke rims I thought the red was too much.
I already have AH crest logos on my valve stem nuts.
Still, those logos look great!
Just not what I was looking for.
:thumbsup:

more dirty pics

Morning mist...Dang there is a lot of road rubber on
the car. Then I went out and flogged 'er a bit.
Coming down/up one mountain or other today 2 different cars
voluntarily pulled aside to wave me on. I wasn't tailgating....
was just purring back there in 3rd... and ..Wow... a wave by!
I'd downshift and let 'er rip for them as I passed the nice drivers.
I hope they enjoyed it. I did!
Wife and pooch watched from the MGB.
AH caps are hardly noticeable. That's what I was after.
Lots of fun. Lots of comments at stops along the way.
Pretty lady and pooch in that B sure were head turners.
Even with VTO cap logos.
:devilgrin:
