Oops! I'm not supposed to mention that yet. (look for an upcoming announcement, and thanks Jesse for the support!!)
Thanks for the kind words, Dan.
I will definitely be glad to see some installed parts. I am always promised pics....

Yes, I did.....

Believe me, I am just as excited as you are about the final product. I will have to have a shrine dedicated to this cam tower, I am sure.

I just struck a deal with Jesse that has him powdercoating basically the entire 931 engine that I am building. Valve cover, charge tube and outlet pipe, intake manifold, block, oil pan, and he's hitting the exhaust manifold with some high temp for good measure. Should make for some real nice candy. I can't wait to start building this lil' monster.

Now all I need to do is finish the body work, paint the car, restore the interior, and slap together the EMS before he sends the stuff back so I have somewhere to showcase his work. I guess you guys will have to settle for some engine stand shots until spring.

Sam Grant's candy red cam tower..... possibly THE nicest cam tower in existence!!!!!






The exact specs are:

Candy Red body, with machined letters, polished, w/ a clear coating over the letters. This is the way I will do the chrome style letters from now on. It is so much better this way. I can't describe the how incredible this cam tower looks. The pics don't do it justice. The candy red, is 100 times better than the regular red i normally use!

Wow, That's fantastic. Do you powder coat the letters chrome or just polish them? Does the candy coat require a clear coat?
