If I remember right, Craig has the original Cragar forms for the center castings.  I'm not sure if he uses those to make the repro center pieces.

Was also watching the auction as I need a set of these, figured they might go for around $5k.  Guess someone really had to have them.

I believe that he does have the centers made up from those original molds.

Going back to 1990  I had 2 sets of wheels done by Craig before the convention in MI at Domino's Farms. He had to wait for rims and actually got my wheels to me days before the convention and hadn't even cashed my check yet(different times). My vert wheels were fine but my GT500 wheels he was leery using the center discs(dia corrosion) and asked me if I was going to track the car with sideway thrust on the rims. I told him it was a 3.91 geared GT500 so only straight line performance and really none at that. So he was then fine doing the set for my GT500.It was fun having 2 really rare 70s at the show thanks to Craig rushing my wheels. The black car in the pic is Larry Quay's GT350 that I believe was used in the Radar Love video.

+1 Craig is a great guy in my book too.
