Found out I have walking Phumonia (sp?)... no wonder I feel like crap. Got three shots, and inhaler and some kick ass cough swill.

But SEMA waits for nobody.. lol

New wheels are on the car and she goes tomorrow to dyno tune then back to BOS so we can finish up all the little stuff.

Shaun Dove (TwinSting) over at EVOD showed me a new deal he is doing. In short he has a way to cast emblems now. So he took my Bad Penny logo, scanned it, made it 3Dish and then made centercaps for my wheels.

He said he ca do this with any logo or car name and the cost for the entire set of custom one-off center caps is only about $250. Considering the billet Forgeline caps run $200 that's a hell of deal.

He can color them many ways, these he used a dye to give the patina copper look.

He can also do one off emblems as well (like if you had a car name or something) for under a hundred bucks.

Wheels are hot, but I still miss the gunmetal finish that hits hard with your paint color

The center caps are pretty awesome. Do you have any contact info for Shaun , might want to have something made in the future..
I sort of missed the polished hoops.. and now I do miss the GM centers.. but it's easy to get them done down the line a bit.

Shaun's website is www.evodindustries.com

Funny, I asked you if you had a pneumonia last Friday and you said, "No, nothing that bad".

I know it will be tough with SEMA and all but try to get as much rest as possible. I had it last year and it took about six months to get 100%.

By they way, thanks again to you and the folk that put together the Duel in the Desert event. My three boys and myself had a great time.
