The Project Pad

Wow! Thats incredible work. how long does something like this take for the machine to do?

It was a 2 day job. 8 hours the first day and about 7 hours the second day. Not counting programing and all the practice parts to get the pattern and the timing chain cover shape down perfectly

Chris, you must have a pretty crazy hookup at a machine shop to be running 15x85-100$ plus the 250$ billet. Looks nice. What was the final weight?

Im in charge of the mill dept at my day job so they pretty much let me do as i please for my personal projects. As of right now its 12 pounds. stock is 5 i believe. Im gonna throw it back in tonight to try and lighten it up some more.

On the stock vc the bolts are visible from the outside. I think alot of the extra weight is coming from the material around the bolt holes. i was going for a "shaved" look

Heres the start of this weekends project. tubing bender die for oval RMR tubing

Right on, should be interesting how the rmr bends. Clever way of making the roller. Nice

Lots of soild work going on in here...

Thanks hank. Im really hoping it works out good. The original plan was to do it in 1 solid piece but the cost of material and a large radiused keyway cutter price was a little to high. Heres a couple pics of the finished die.

excellent work

I hope to eventually have some of your works of art on my 90.

Cant seem to find any D shape end caps for my intake manifold that are worth while. so i decided to make some

Wow. There are a lot of talented motherfuckers on here. It is really cool that people are sharing projects and ideas. I could look at pretty CNC stuff all day and never get bored.

Talented is right good lord! I'm in for some 5cyl stuff
