old skool luvr is a glorious beacon of light

for your eyes only.....

just thought i'd throw up a few pic's of my brother's custom Vortec cover on the CPI in his '83 Dime.

ahhhh, the benifits of being a machinist.

Looks pretty good, also, looks like he started with a pretty big block of aluminum!

Make sure to post up when he's done and has it installed.

Well it did start off as a naked piece of aluminium! LOL

Nice work! x 2 on the access to such equipment.

Kiwi, (I know you know this) but I think I speak of all for most of us when I say, we were hoping more for something that ended up naked.

Nice work though... I may have some stuff in the future I need machined... think your brother can cut me a deal? lol.
