    What do you think about these? Figure why should Mustangs have a custom center and not Mavericks?

    You cut those out of the Maverick hubcaps, didn't you!

    I was just looking at my hubcaps, maybe an hour ago, to cut it out and make a grill emblem. But it would be too small.

    Looks like the door panel emblems?? Only thing is you need two cars to get a set:) But they look great. How much is involved in getting them to fit the center caps? Russ

    It's currently a prototype ... Door Panel emblem scanned and printed on a color printer. Covered with clear tape and cut to fit. The final version I am going to get printed at Wal-Mart photo center and then laminated. It will be cut to fit and glued in place ...

    You could actually have a lens made for that, so it looks really clean and professional. I'm not sure if glass or plexiglass would work better. Good thinking.

    How would you attach the lens to the wheel?

    Yeah I was thinking about a lens and how to make one. Guess I could just cut it out of plexiglass or something. I was also thinking of some sort of clear liquid acrylic that would harden. I gotta check the hobby shop and see what they have.

    Be careful with the epoxy. A guy at work tried to cover pictures with clear epoxy resin (making a new toolbox top) and the heat of the chemical reaction cooked the photographs.
