thank you Bo, Me too i got realy poor results at beginning !! and i gave up before getting it 100% !

thank you ,
i think this is an  original for reference :

What a great job Chris! You are a talented craftsman indeed. They look awesome to me.

thank you !

You might try remounting the stamp on a rectangular pad as opposed to the round design.

Agreed a "squared" edge would help

Another option is to mount it on a board and roll the filter over the stamp.

definitly if i would order another stamp on internet i would go for squared , I tried to roll on it the filter but i got some shrinked version of the stamping ! i guess there's a way how to roll it to get it right , and then the weight of the filter that you need to hold a little and finally i gave up and and did it hand free ....
i m sure if somebody wants to spend enought time and maybe building a fixture to roll the filter straight and at the right speed it would get better result ...

First you need to buy the good " double ribbed" oil filter .



Then remove the gasket and tape to make sure nothing goes inside .



i used some chemichal paint remover to get it to metal .



Then sanding and primer .



Fresh black satin paint .


Some light coating of yellow paint on the stamp


and after few times , here you go :


Not perfect , but i think good for division 2 concours . I had hard time to stamp them right , i tried to roll the filter on the stamp blocked on a table , tried to have the filter fixed and stamping by hand , but either way it's complicated to have it straight or even the stamping in full shape , if somebody did it and got a better result please let me know how !
thank's to Charles for the stamps model.

Congratulations and welcome!

Cobra automotive are polyurethane , i m curious to see what you get from performance shock , i would need some too.

That's a solid body ! keep the pictures coming it's always interesting.

Congratulations ! getting away a 65 for the Cobra ...I Have sometime that kind of thought too but i m so scared too regret it after !...
well done , please share some pictures !

We think it really did well, here are some values from early this year. With everything that's going on we truly think these early values have tanked possibly 20-30%. But remember all that goes down will eventually go up...

with the modifications on it i don't think it so low in curent market ..?

It appears that the SAAC forum is filled with lots of very unhappy passive aggressive trolls - The guy got a good deal on that Hertz car - No wonder lots of people hate this forum now - it's all Debbie Downer all the time here.

My post what just a remark on the value , telling  in my opinion ,it's not so much out off the range of value for a 66 in this condition, now if this making me a
"very unhappy passive aggressive trolls" in your book , it does not in mine.

with the modifications on it i don't think it so low in curent market ..?

Keep on going on the right track ! all good!
