AWESOME Priya's !!!You two make a great team ! I like the idea of shaveing the valve cover , that worked great. I had thought of tapeing it off, but that is a much better idea. What kind of Milling machine do you have ??I have a Bridgeport in the shop that I am just learning how to use.It is amazeing what can be done with the right equipment and skill. Great Job !

[priya]

Thanks again, everyone!

Will I'll get a video of it running for you but if I wait until the car is done that might be a while at the rate its going

68AMXGOPAC, the milling machine is a Morgon.  It wasn't big enough to do the whole valve cover in one pass so my husband had to do 2/3's of it, then swap it end for end and do the other 1/3.  That left a transition area that can be seen if you look closely.  The valve cover isn't cast precisely and was higher in the middle than on the ends.  After he took all he could off of it and still have the writing in the middle there there was still paint on the outer 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch on a couple of the ribs.  I used a sanding block to remove that paint which once again left a different texture on the aluminum that can be seen if one looks closely.  Despite that it came out pretty nice all in all.

Me is drooling. That's it, ma'am.

The car itself is outstanding, it promises to be one of the most beautiful (if not the best) custom SX/4 ever.

But the thing that hits me each and every time I look at this thread is the job the two of you are doing. Not the result, but the work itself. It's amazing !
