From time to time, customers and just all-around great FABO members send me parts as trades / bill offsets or to just clean out the garage. It's awesome!
I've been putting in some serious overtime lately getting a few of these things cleaned up and restored. It's about time to get them out there and back into a car where they can be used and enjoyed. If you've been dying for a set of my Commandos or something, now's the time!!! You all know I don't advertise items for sale very often.
Please keep in mind that not all of this is ready to go yet but it's getting close.* As the parts get finished, I'll add more photos to this thread. I am not particularly interested in selling the parts until they have been finished and powder coated.
I will consider all reasonable offers. My PM in box is at 98% (as usual lol) so please email me directly or post your best offer(s) right here in this thread.
VALVE COVERS (small block):
Mopar Commando valve covers ... these are a typical PSC restoration including the black wrinkle finish (called "Wetstone Black"), polished and cleared fins, and plastic dip on the wire harness retainers. I still have to finish the buffing on the fins as well as the fins' clear coat so please give me a few days to finish them up. There's a bit of pitting on the top of one but it will be covered by the fins.

Mickey Thompson valve covers (Set No. 1) ... fully repaired, deburred, polished fins and logos, powder coated in a factory-style finish called "Silk Satin Black." The pcv knockouts are intact; comes with one baffle. These have nearly 11 labor hours in them and are now ready to go.

Mickey Thompson valve covers (Set No. 2) ... same as above, except this pair will be coated very shortly in the black wrinkle finish called "Wetstone Black" unless the buyer prefers a different color.

Holley valve covers ... all bodywork and repairs have been completed (note: they were pretty beat up). The ribs and logos cleaned up all right and should be suitable for polishing or a machine finish. They are still in bare aluminum and, as of this writing, can be powder coated per the buyer's specifications. Sorry, no photos yet but they look just like M/Ts with a HOLLEY logo instead.
PULLEYS (small block)
Complete set of March Performance serpentine pulleys in the factory box, powder coated in "Silk Satin Black." Includes the Allen head hardware (uncoated) and factory paperwork. They look like they've never been mounted on a motor. My hanging jig left a mark near the mounting hole on the crank pulley but it won't show up when they're installed.

BREATHER / AIR CLEANER
Edelbrock Elite air cleaner lid (I think it's a 14"). Missing a few of the black plastic inserts. Still bare aluminum and ready for your color choice! I can probably also come up with a base if you need one.
FUEL DELIVERY
[Sale Pending as of 11-10-2012]: Billy's tossed a Carb Shop 500 cfm 2 barrel race carb set up with 72 jets (no choke) into the mix. Nothing was powder coated on it except for a little bit of hardware in "Silk Satin Black." He got it in a trade for something, looked it over and it seems to work fine. He wants to get $200.00 out of it.

[Sale Pending as of 11-10-2012]: Used Dave Pletcher Racing aluminum carb adapter (4 barrel to 2 barrel) in "Silk Satin Black" with polished logo. It's my understanding these are mainly used for dirt track racing. A few dimples in the metal here and there but it cleaned up all right ... I'd give it a "decent 3-footer" rating. I can't tell if the front right bolt hole is just cut weird or has a helicoil (see pic). Asking $75.00 plus shipping, or only $50.00 if you buy the Carb Shop carburetor listed above too.

8 3/4 CARRIER HOUSINGS
#741 -- no locks or adjusters, and it has odd large Allen head bolts I've never seen before. Asking $50.00.
#742 -- I've had this for nearly two decades and am never going to use it. Asking $150.00.
MISCELLANEOUS
Two matching outdoor porch light fixtures for your garage or man cave. Not being car parts, these are the least closest to being finished. I have plans for them though :-D including new Lexan, and am thinking hard about sand etching a Mopar logo or pentastar into the front window of each one. Sorry, no pics of these yet ... but they'll be cool!! Most likely will be coated in a pewter or metallic silver but that's up to you too if you want them.
* Everything but the carburetor and carriers have been blasted and the initial deburring / prep is (or will be) finished shortly.
If the parts listed have not yet been powder coated, I can accommodate specific color requests upon payment of an advance deposit to secure the parts in your color(s). You can see examples of all of these powder colors on my website's Gallery of Work Samples.
I'll add more to this if there's anything I forgot about. (Hey, it was a short night -- sorry. :-D) Thanks for taking the time to read it!
