Thanks for the comments.  Maybe later on for the photos.

Currently I’ve been trying to nail down reproducing the gas hose markings.  I’d previously posted my first attempt.  To say I was not satisfied would be an understatement.  So tonight I feel like I’m pretty dang close..


Photos 1023 - 1025 - Bottom hose is the latest and greatest attempt.  Using archival ink pigment and making my own stamps I thing I can finally say I am satisfied.  Top hose was the previously attempt.  If there ends up being any interest I might consider marketing these since there are none on the market currently.  At least to my knowledge.

Updated hoses with what is a more robust dye for the stamp.

FYI, I have made a few posts on a couple of Facebook groups (I know..  I’m not a fan but I want to offer these hoses to those that might be interested).  So if you are interested look for posts in All Chevy Muscle Swap Meet, 67 L78 Camaro 4K cars only, & more.

Those look awesome. I'm surprised no one has reproduced and offered them already. You should copyright or license those before one of the bigger restoration companies get a look at them.
