Check out my MB Hubcap Clock

[Chad300tdt]

I've wanted a Hubbie clock ever since I first saw one. So I bought a set of hubbies and made clocks out of them. Here's mine:


I still have three others if anyone is interested. They have the patina of actual road use. I put good quality clock works in them that use a AA battery which I'll include. I painted the hands orange so they look like gauge needles.

I'd like $45 (via Paypal) which includes the cost of shipping to anywhere in the continental US. PM me if you want one. When these 3 are gone, that's it.

Here are pics of the other three I have:

Clock 1


Clock 2


Clock 3

Sweet! Is that official gauge indicator orange? What would you charge to install a clock if someone mails you a hubcap?

Do they keep good time when installed in the car?

It's just a neon orange I found at Home Depot. It's pretty close.

If you send me a hub cap I'll ship it back to you with a clock in it for $25 including shipping.

There has been a set on the Portland CL for quite some time that they want like $150 for. Good luck selling those. Keep an eye on CL though, they are on there all the time.

I love the concept! I remember seeing them from some GTG pics I believe. But for some reason the orange hands don't work for me. Seems like they almost need to be chrome or silver. I need to look for the pics from the GTG. Seems like they were on somebody's windshield......

It was from the Central FL GTG I attached the pic. I didn't care for the shorter hands or the numbers. IMO the holes in the hubcap rim indicate the numbers well enough.

Only if you don't want to sell them. They usually go for somewhere around $40 in my neck of the woods.

Let's see, Run a Centra Wheel through the band saw.....and ship it to.......Naw too heavy, but a heckofa idea though....

I don't guess anybody has one spare green hubcap, do they??
My clock guts have been ordered.....

[Chad300tdt]

I'm down to 2 clocks. Once they are sold it's like mine was free.

If they don't sell in a few days, I'll put them on ebay for a bit more and make some profit in addition to getting mine free.


EDIT: Speaking of time ... 7 minutes and it's Christmas Eve on the east coast!!!! Merry Christmas Eve everyone.
