    ANd just how is one doing this sand casting stuff. DO you have your own furnace?

    I've never liked the E/J light's or had any interest in owning them, BUT!!!
    I have to say the quality of your work is enough to make me want to run them on something! :)
    They look VERY nice!
    And the cap, DAMN SLICK!!

    Very nice work Crafty, very nice..

    Only seen them once or twice where I thought they suited the car they were on. Those are really nice though. I could see some small ones on my car as indicators. The cap is really nice too. Watchout Sellers!

    How about some of those pinpoint lights from the high end imports. They're awful small and might work great in a new-age lamp like these.
    Have you tried them?
