    This is cool, I am curious about other parts you can make looking at this.

      Well the billet looks cool, but your early work still makes absolutely no sense to me. The finned Z3 cover makes me wonder, could you either use a stock diff cover or a billet one and then tig massive fins for cooling on it?

                If you're doing the fab & weld work - impressive. The sheet metal valve cover is kick ass more so, IMO, than the full cnc one.

                Keep it ... loose the flakiness ...

                  ITT, a bunch of dudes from r3v shit on a guy who doesn't speak English very well.

                  Guy posts awesome looking valve cover he made.

                  Same dudes from r3v keep trying to pretend they aren't impressed and continue to make fun of him because he doesn't speak English very well.

                  Camshaftgsxr sad.
                  Very sad.

                    He lives in LA there isn't really an excuse for shit english unless he just moved here a year ago. even the foreigners have it down almost perfect; but his work shouldn't be belittled or skipped over for that fact alone. this is good stuff, any plans for a 24v cover?
