Really nice presentation, Brian! You guys do such great work. Digression - I would love a desk or wall clock made from one of these.

I can put one inside the center of a 1967 Impala hubcap for you. I would use a battery operated quartz mechanism but these clock faces. I would prefer to use vintage ones, maybe a little rusty clock face and dented hubcap for good upcycling?

Do u guys restore 1967 impala 8 tracks just clean up the surface

the clock is 125, can be a few hundred if we have parts that need to be swapped out for better vintage cores. service@maupinmetal.com with pics and questions

What’s the normal reason the don’t work?

Since it's all mechanical gear driven, friction and wear with age eventually stops the clock, but if it stops while receiving a 12v charge it will ALSO burn up one of the wires like a fuse.

Nice work, Im going to check mine. The clear lens that covers the whole cluster isn't worth the time polishing. I easily make new ones in about 10 minutes. Perfectly clear.

PERFECTLY CLEAR, no way anyone can tell its not factory. Im made and sold a few. Ive done this to a few of my old cars.

@@maupinmetal Ive made many this way, the correct thickness can easily be manipulated and formed, Once the outer bezel is in place... You can't tell the difference. Actually, my lens is actually more clear that Original style, Its very easy to cut, or drill holes where needed. Go ahead, keep your old crappy one.

Mine spins really fast when it gets plugged in...any ideas how to fix? I have any extra one in order to get one fully working.

I’ve fixed that issue a few times. A gear fell down. It can be glued and snapped back into place and then a good cleaning and oiling you’ll be fine. We do the labor for $100. Doesn’t sound like you need the extra one or any parts
