They look great! I'm glad to see how good they look on your engine.
Who has these Pentastars?

I'm sure at some point you're going to get tired of hearing this but thank you and thank you LOL. I'm over the moon that's all I can say, over the moon!
The homemade ones could be coated to match an engine, or polished and coated in candy colors. It would look like a colored mirror ... maybe some flake

Can you get me a measurement on the size of those? I'm Thinking of testing my design out and would like to make them at least this size or a bit bigger red arrows show my needs. thanks

No problem I'll go grab my tape measure and run them acrost. When you get them done I'm hoping I'm going to have to give you my address... Hang tight I'll run out to the garage now..

It looks like 1 1/4
from point to point and 1 3/16 from Flat to Corner.

I don't know if you had one or touched one but that metal looking part of the pentastar does not protrude. It's under a smooth glass Jewel type feel..

Thanks,looks like I can make em 2 sizes 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" (got dual 1barrel setup that would need the bigger ones.) I planned on doing an acrylic dome after carving the star and painting blue, I already did a couple domed key fobs for friends at Christmas(chevy and ford ones though but we're still friends even though they are crazy). They came out great. Going to do a Red set for my engine since it's a 66 and bright red. I'll have to find chrysler blue in powder coat for them to be better heat resistant though.
Looks good!! But do those of us who are slightly OCD a favor and turn your air cleaner lids so the Direct Connection is facing the front of the car.

Now see I'm OCD as heck myself and I figured one on each side cuz the person looking from one side direction of clearsight at it. If you're standing in front of me you could get ran over!!Looks good!!

Keep it real! As many great things as I've produced I always show my failures..going to test it out this week end. (got the chrysler blue paint and the epoxy has come in so I think I"m ready to test it out. (no you can't see the failures, I'll hide them in shame!

ahhh I'd probably have to have 2 or 3 posts if they still only allow 10 pic's, unless I group all my failures together. the design is (I think) ready to cut , but the hold down procedure is biting me in the begind since I only have ly little cnc running at this time and it has a MDF table. everyone knows what happens when you get liquid on mdf. poof the fat wet sawdust!
