Default Modded my oilcap

Inspired by livin proof kustoms, I made myself a new oilcap with few 308 casings and a bench drill, pipe cutters and some epoxy. Tell me what ya think

Thats pretty cool.

I would have done it different tho, You should've just shot the oilcap with a .50

Drop them a little lower... then use some clear epoxty on top of them to create a perfectly smooth surface above them in the top of the cap.

Good job. Gotta love the feeling of making your own custom piece and it turning out well.

Typical H-T banter...

back to the topic, nice fab. I agree that they should be fresh primers, for full effect. and it would be nice if they were all the same type of bullet (same colored primers) but other than those few small points, its very nice.

I bought the cap, it was one of those cheap billet aluminum oilcaps, but it was quite bland as it was, so I decided to decorate it a bit to stand out of the crowd. I'm sure I could of made it better if I had some more advanced tools, like a cnc, this was pretty much done with a ruler, bench drill, hand pipe cutters and some epoxy glue

Cause its his piece and he likes it that color maybe ? And since when is a color rice ? Looks nice for creativity.

very original idea, cant believe i havent thought of that, although the machined wcc ones are much nicer than i could make in my little shop with real casings

that black wcc bike is one of my favorites they have done, doesnt make jesse any less of an arrogant jackass, but a talented one nevertheless

Not my cup of tea, but the point is that you're using your creativeness to do what you want.

LOL! **** poor grammar AND spelling.

At least now I know silver = rice so it's not cool anymore. I'm going to have to pull the wheels and hose clamps off my car, because they are all silver!
