Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Eastern Canada Mod Day - new pics added!

Looking good! Now you need to get that engine bay steam cleaned!

Nice job!

Looks good! What engine mods did you do?

Consider yourself lucky with the wife and her help. She even got into a suit for you mate. I was lucky to have my girl help me wax my car once. But that was just once. LOL

Hey Ghosst, you gonna take that puppy to the dyno?

Can't Wait to See it

Thanks for the compliments guys; you will all be able to have a peek at the new mods this Sunday.

As for the dyno, the next time Chris sets up a day to have it done I'll do my best to make it. I'm curious to see what I'm putting down at the wheels.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I'm sure glad to have Rick doing most of the work for BNM coatings at the moment. I get to try my first real hand at it this weekend on my own parts (only helped with some of the first sample pieces up to now). When I saw the translucent blue for the first time I about creamed my jeans!

BTW, how'ed ya test the rear cover Chris? Clang it around or did it get dropped?

LOL, well in the picture below, you know on on the front of the rear valve cover, where the timing gears reside, there is a black plastic dohickey that is held by the end valve cover bolts. Well, while Dana and I were mucking around at around 1:00am, we were installing the rear cover and, needless to say, tired hands aren't the best tools in the world. "WE" managed to hit and scrape against that part. Oops, that's when my comment came out as to how durable the powder coating is. Excellent work Brad.

Brad, from the number of PMs I have about cam covers I think you're about see a good surge in business. Seems everyone is really interested in the how-to and how-much of it all.

I really hope everyone waits until right before Spring Zing to order them. :rolleyes: We have had only your parts, one other TB, and a Nissan 4 pot valve cover... I hope to turn out more parts than that in the coming months and hope to add wheels to our lineup. The interest is high, but the commitment is low at this point. We're really hoping to stir things up at SZ and come home with at least a few orders. We're actually taking a few parts with us in pretty colors to hopefully sell at the meet... Maybe, even give something away!

BTW, valve covers are about a 4 hour job. :p

Unfortunately I won't be at SZ this year. Are you planning to attend the National meet? I'm sure I can show them off there.
