Pure sexy: 4.3# carbon fiber 06+ valve covers - Competition Diesel.Com

joefarmer · 05-15-2012, 11:06 PM

Randy @ oldskoolfab hooked me up!! 4.3 pounds of pure sexy carbon fiber that's strong enough to drive over. I'm still finishing up the breathers (tried to weld 2024 aluminum to 6061 aluminum, doesn't work) so it won't be at TS.

Sneak peek:

Randy has a few ideas and refinements to add for the next piece, but it looks like it's a winner! Everyone who's seen it in person can't stop drooling. No one can believe how ridiculously lightweight it turned out. Should be available to the general public in the coming months.

Thank you Randy!!

I forgot, I haven't had it buried in clearcoat yet in those pictures. I'll be sure to post in this thread when I get everything done and installed on the truck.

Unknown until we know how streamlined the process can be made. Expect it to be in line with the rest of the fabricated valve covers for these engines.

Looks awesome Brandon, I was talking to him about some 12v ones about a month ago and he told me he was making them for a CR. Looks amazing, just as all of his work does.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this project for. I'm looking forward to doing another one.

Thanks for all the support!
