I'm gonna try to continue this & have them cut, & anodized black to start with.
Then I'm gonna get BrentF or BryanF to make the decals for me instead of engraving.
Do ya suppose that would work?!? I'd have to make one & test it out for a couple weeks to be sure.
Possibly clear-coat with a high-temp cover coat to protect the decals?
Not sure if that would work because of the high heat from being mounted right on the head.
Not sure how declas would react to the heat if no clear-coat is used either. Might be better to protect them with a hi-temp clear-coat.

I have one lined up in aluminum for $45 shipped. I am going to get it anodized red and engraved with build date and production #. I may look into getting some made I can't believe they could cost that much. I sure seems like there is a demand for them.

Well catch cans USED to cost $80, but try ordering one now from AMW:
Close to $175 last time I checked. Yes, they do get pricey, and heck I belive SLP had them for sale at one of the CAD's (Customer Appreciation Day) a few years back.
If I remember correctly, they were around $50.00, but I am drawing off memory, so I am not positive.
