Update
Hopefully your cam will come this week. He did say he was sending it out for the nitriding treatment, but he has yet to ding my credit card. So I'm watching for the friendly UPS man to knock on the door. Ellie is getting excited too, which is good, because she's wearing a "cone collar" as a result of a cut on the paw.  |

How long does it take to manufacture one camshaft? Were your instructions given in the insufferable tone that use here on this website? That might explain the delay.

Brent said he wanted the cam nitrided. Richard said they send it out to have that little chore done, so that's probably the reason it's taking a little longer. Only the best for ol' Brent.  |

Wouldn't it have been easier and faster to just machine from a billet core instead of nitriding? Cost wouldn't have mattered since Patrick is paying for it.
Any luck with getting some Shubeck lifters?

Haven't been looking real hard....
I found out that Comp Cams has some EDM/tool steel lifters as well. That works better since I'm a Comp distributor....
I've been spending quite a bit of time trying to find a direction to point myself in as far as frames/bodies go. It's a rough decision.

An ERA will always look "right" (unless it's beige ). Plus rigid chassis and first class engineering-look for an older project car.

Chas,
I'm looking at basically two different options right now. I'm having to stay with the manufacturers that will let me buy separate components at a time.
I don't take bubble baths in $20's like you guys do....

I excavated this from PAGE 12-so Brent, you realize that by now you could have MADE your own cam from a half-shaft and file. 
It's the stigma attached with dealing with your benefactor-even cam nitriders hate him...

I can sense a picture forthcoming with a white dog named Ellie and some gratuitous hand model shots prominently displayed in it.

Every day I wait by the window, with my nose pressed up against the glass, waiting for my friendly UPS man to stop at my door. But each day he just passes me by. |

So spend (another) dime and call the nitride maven! Brent is frantic by now or has expired already...

It bothers me that you know so much about what appears to be womens apparel. |
