Default Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?

Poured resin copies of the super rare 1935-1937 front tow hooks for big trucks. I borrowed an original set (first I've ever see in person) and then made a silicone mold using them as the pattern.

Just need a bit of flashing clean-up and I'll have a display set. Now I'm thinking of getting a set cast in ductile iron and maybe re-creating the special equipment front license plate holder too.
