      I have been working 7 days a week 12 hour days for most of this year so far and yesterday and today is the first time ive been on here in a long time. I am really excited to see this moving forward, I am going on vacation the end of next month, but I will try and scrape up some money for one of these.

          I would love to pick up one of each. Right now funds and projects are on hold for little while. Might see about selling some stuff to come up with funds.

              No more work on the LC-Cheater will be done until this project is wrapped up.

              I need to raise $1000 more so I can have the two springs manufactured and to purchase the few remaining pieces for the build.

              Also, I'm trying to figure out the correct material so I can manufacturer the valve seals. I did buy some materials but they were incorrect, so I have to revisit that. I purchased 90 Duro Urethane and it is much too soft. I'm not versed in these products so it's slowing me down some.

              I do have the aluminum to machine the body parts.

              I did a prototype run of the valve stems out of aluminum and they tested out great, so I'm currently (as we speak) programming the production run of these in brass.



              All hardware and orings.




              These are the only parts that have been manufactured:

              LPR oring carriers (brass) were completed last night.

              The little aluminum parts are LPR tops, they finished up this past Saturday.

                          i like your setup,
                          i know it doesnt mean much from me,
                          but that is icing on the cake for me

                            I completely know where you're coming from, I love this stuff too that's why I post it. Some guys like seeing this stuff, some could care less. I can study pictures and videos of machining for hours on end.
                            I thought this shot would be more interesting when I took it, but something is lost when you can't see all the movements, tool changes, coolant and chips flying. I tried doing a video when I was cutting the little brass parts but I don't understand the camera settings and it didn't work out. I didn't want to stop and fool with the camera so I just dropped the idea..

                                Agreed! Love the pictures; not that I understand everything. I really enjoy seeing the creation and talent involved in transforming chunks of metal.
