We have a company that does all of our coating for work. I talked to them about doing some of my things. Today I dropped off the cam towers for the 928 engine to be done in wrinkle red. He has to get the stuff in and when they are done Ill post photos of them. I plan to take the coating off the lettering sortof like the old black wrinkle M/T valve covers I had way back when. If they come out half as good as the stands and things they do for work they will be sweet.

Sounds cool.

Now. Lets see how many people know what a M/T valve cover is. (I do)

Hint: He is dead (not Elvis)

Mickey was gunned down in front of his house as I remember.

The company is Quality Powder Coating at 1838Forms Drive in Carrollton.

Ha ha.. I didnt see Root's post until Spares...

Yes. He was gunned down. Later they found out (like last year) that is was one of his business associates that had him knocked off. Too bad. He did a lot for motorsports.
