Thanks Ulli!!!

Mixing in some new and older stuff here today to color up your holiday weekend. I've been focusing so much on clearing the backlog to improve turn around times that I'm just about out of work!

If you have some down time this weekend, work off that turkey and stuffing by boxing something up and opening a PirateShip.com account in two minutes. I'll make it worthwhile with a steep exclusive discount -- straight up, I'd rather make something than nothing -- and you'll save up to 89% on your shipping costs forever.

Even if your powder plans are still aways off, purchasing a Gift Certificate will help with cash flow and help ensure PSC will still be here when you are ready.

Realizing I haven't updated this since November, here's my latest creations.

My first Christmas ornament ... a lady on eBay makes them out of aluminum cans

These next two might be for sale after February 25.

Before ...

After ...

This was a challenge!

My first Magnum intake will follow. I'm out of room!

 

[eldubb440]

outstanding artistry!

 

[CudaChick1968]

On arrival, brand new from Summit. The machining above the runners was so extreme it could cut ya open!

It will never hurt anybody now though!

I LOVE intakes!! Some are smooth and some are bumpy but most are a combination. Rather than "polished" perfection, I strive for uniformity so each one that leaves my bench looks like a phenomenal casting with no evidence of my bodywork.

Have a project of your own? Get in touch! FBBO members are rewarded with a Labor Discount and military/law enforcement save even more!

Thanks for your support these last 18 years!!!

Just beautiful

A few weeks being sicker than ever followed by a fractured ankle after missing a step in the basement has delayed the **** presentation a bit. It's hell gettin old guys! Avoid it if at all possible.


Here's a few new ones since my last update.

Yes, even a few LS parts which I'm convinced were never intended to be pretty.

A billet Harley gauge panel for a local guy turned out sweet!

There's a few in line but I'm back in action full time again so don't hesitate to get in touch!

Thanks for your amazing support!! Love ya all muuuahhhhhhh!!!

 

[CudaChick1968]

Further to the point ... Yikes.

It took a lot of bodywork but they turned out all right.

 

[Kern Dog]

Nice work.
Jeez....the LS valve covers are an ugly design that you made look a LOT better.

 

[Hey-O]

Leanna,
I don't know why, but I didn't know you did license plates. I'm on the look out for two 1965 Missouri July plates. When I find them, they're going straight to you, no matter what. Thanks!!.....Ulli

It's actually the third one ever, a really tough undertaking with those two colors compounded by his desire for a translucent candy red metallic (it needs a shiny / metallic basecoat to achieve that effect). It was in great shape for its age which saved on bodywork but the masking took quite awhile.
He absolutely loves it ... and that's what matters most.
Thanks for checking it out and for helping keep the doors open when your search is finally fruitful!!

You know how I roll, I'll reward you for a job well done!! I'll look for the best I can find. Thanks.

Superlative workmanship, young lady.


I'm fortunate to have a great custom powder/ceramic coater locally, who's one of my closest friends.

 

[Scott Engelhardt]

Looks like I will be sending you some plates next winter!

I have a bunch more to add but, with an appointment soon, will restrict it to a special opportunity I just couldn't pass up.

A local senior's mom got in touch last Thursday while it was getting laser cut, Greenfield High School Class of 2024's gift to the school, the alma mater in 16 gauge steel.

Graduation is TODAY.

She dropped it off Monday night and picked it up last evening. It's heavy, flimsy (beautiful work but could have used two more joinders between the circles) and freakin' huge lol, 47-1/2" across, the absolute limit of my oven.

I don't usually take on Rushes due to backlog but this was an opportunity to finally do something for my own town after living here for almost 19 years.

Yep, she picked Hemi Orange.

They got it installed last night after leaving here, right outside the school auditorium doors ... where everyone will be walking today for graduation.

Happy Friday!! Thanks for keeping an eye on me. Your support means the world!!!
