Project Hub Cap-- Pakistan

tornadoalleycruiser · 12-10-08, 01:40 PM

the Tornadoalley group is the missouri group and we'll be shipping via Pardi if possible when the big pile comes in thru customs. we'll all pony up if John will sort and ship from California. keeps it simple. or we can have a big box sent to missouri but would rather them all clear customs at the same time. it'll be a partial container so will probably be detained for xray etc at customs.

cruiser ken · 12-10-08, 10:36 PM

ken, i was over at kurts he is thinking about getting in on this also. to save on shipping we should have them all shipped to one address here in utah.

ehsankiani · 12-22-08, 02:59 AM

The clips spaced between the wheel studs hold the caps NOT the rim itself.

ehsankiani · 12-22-08, 11:44 AM

Thank you for the pics. Now it will be easier to find one here for the testing. I saw the stamped T cup yesterday but it needed few final changes. Will post a picture in about half an hour or so

Here is a sample stamp the guy did. He used a hammer for it so its not as clean as it should be. There were also some issues with the die that affect the final finish of the stamp. He is redoing the die so that it is as near to perfect as possible.
Thank you all for your support and patience with this project.

Thats because I purposely put up smaller sized pics..

Icantdive55 · 12-23-08, 10:39 AM

Actually I was hoping to get some replies started. There have been at least 50 views since I posted. The "(?) i think" is because i have an old monitor and can't see detail very well. And I don't have a cap to compare it to. What I do see looks good.

ehsankiani · 12-28-08, 10:55 PM

I just got a call telling me the stamped samples are ready for inspection. Once more I will be posting pictures of what I get later in the day.

. Hoping this will not require any revision now..

Thank you all
Ehsan

ehsankiani · 12-29-08, 08:24 AM

As promised.

. This is the sample with the stamped T. This is just buffed and polished. Yet to be chromed. I can now say that we are ready to go into production. Please email me at ehsankiani@yahoo.com to get information on how to place orders for this.
I would love to know what you all think about this.
Thanks

Man, those look really nice Ehsan; thanks for all your hard work to make these possible!

Icantdive55 · 12-29-08, 08:57 AM

X2, very nice.

My wife said no FJ! · 12-29-08, 09:06 AM

Looks great!!!

Have you tried it on an early Toyota rim? Would hate for them to fall off

Have you decided if we get them chromed from you, or if we are to do the chroming here?

67azcruizr · 12-29-08, 09:28 AM

excellent

I will get a rim soon to test fit all the caps so there is no problem later on. I will get these chromed here and post pics.
