    Hey Guys,
    Does anyone have a source for the clocks that are used in the piston and rod clocks like what is pictured here? <a href="url">http://www.tricktank.com/bobgilbertsonautographedrodclock-p-52.html </a>I need one that will fit in a 2.5" big end and I either don't know what I'm looking for or just don't know where to look. Either way, I'm not having any luck finding one. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Clocks

    Yep, I got them at Michael's and at Hobby Lobby both. Now I really wonder why they would carry little round clocks that just fit inside the rods. I suppose there must be a huge demand with all those nice looking aluminum rods out there. Or did Chrysler know about the clocks and make the journal sizes to fit them.... One of life's great mysteries.
    :p

    I Couldnt Figure Out How To Spell Michaels Thats Where We Got Ares

    YOU CAN MAKE THE CLOCK REAL COOL BY GETTING A PICTURE DOWN SIZE IT ON THE COMPUTOR CROP THE NUMBERS OVER THE PICTURE POP THE FACE OFF THE CLOCK AND THE HANDS OFF PUT THE PICTURE OF YOU CAR IN THE CLOCK PUT IT BACK TOGETHER GET TWICE THE MONEY FOR THEM BESIDES IT LOOKS COOL BUT A LITTLE MORE WORK

    Thanks Jim, that's pretty much the idea I had in mind. Hopefully it means something when I get done with it. Thanks a lot for all your help everyone, and have a Merry Christmas.
