For Sale -- Cam Lamps

[Fastbird]

Here's the finished product:
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/Fastbird93/1124092133.jpg

It's a LS1 Camshaft with a LS1 cam gear, mounted on a wood platform base, drilled so the power cord comes through the side of the base. Sale lamps will be built using nickel plated hardware (socket, ect) rather than brass so it looks good together. WILL NOT INCLUDE THE SHADE as that's a personal choice.

I have two separate ideas for purchase:

One -- You send me a LS1 (any gen III or IV cam will work so long as it's hollow) camshaft and timing gear (again any Gen III or IV gear should work), and I will build your lamp and send it back for $35.

Two -- I sell you a lamp sourced outright from me for $75 shipped. The price increase is because I'm finding people think that stock LS1 cam is made of gold and that a stock LS1 cam gear is made of platinum.

Right now I can leave the base natural as shown above, stain it in mahogany, or walnut. If you have a request let me know and I can try to accommodate.

If you think this is too expensive, please let me know. Likewise if you have a suggestion I'm open. Spread the word! I will have these listed on my website no later than the end of the holiday weekend.

Currently I have three cams/gears en route, and will be ordering parts tomorrow so I'll have them ready to ship NLT the end of next week depending on when the parts get in.

I could use an oval base and use some nice hardware for the lower gear.......I'll give it a shot. This an LT or an LS timing set, and would you need me to supply the LS cam or would you?

Just sold two of the three lamps that I have cams/gears coming in for! One left currently.

Could you use a LT1 cam and the timing chain sprocket by chance? I know no one else except a select few would know the difference in the cams and base but it's someting i think would be cool.

If the cam is hollow, I could most likely do something with it. But AFAIK LT1 cams aren't hollow though looking at a pic of my BRE (Comp) cam, it may be able to be done depending on manufacturer.

Post pics of either end if it's hollow and I'll let you know. The sprocket shouldn't be a big deal at all given the way I secure them.

If you could use a stock LT1 cam then I will be doing business with you.

Thank You Sean.... I knew I would be ordering from you soon as I saw your initial pics....

Not until next week is fine. I'll hold off on setting a price because this is a bit different, and I want to make sure it's what you want. I'll PM you my address and you can send the timing set out next week. The LS1 cam bolt holes should match up to the LT1 timing set bolt holes....if not I'll work something out.

The way i was thinking was just put the stock LT1 cam on a lathe and have a hole drilled through it and then use the sprocket and use three bolts to secure it like you would on the car??

That could be done, but a Lathe I do not have nor do I have access to. You come up with a drilled cam and I'll do it up for ya.

[Huff035]

I love it! Probably going to be ordering one! this is an awesome idea.

[Joker Z28]

I need to find an ls1 cam now ; (

[Fastbird]

Waiting on bolts to come in, that's it. Have cams/gears on hand, bases drying in mahogany red stain (looks GREAT btw). Bolts are being delivered on the 2nd so the lamps will go out on the 3rd.

Just remember, whatever shade you pick out make sure it's one that will push on to the bulb socket. I'm going to install a harp mount on them just in case you can't find something to suit though, but the push on style are more prevalent and have a larger selection.

[Pacific_L36]

Now that's a cool lamp :cool:

[KissMyWhtSS]

Looks good Sean!

Guys - Make sure to consult with your wife/SO before purchasing this and putting it in the living room. ;) :laugh:

Hey popo.......

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/Fastbird93/1201091916.jpg

They're done and should be shipping tomorrow. The lamp on the left is f-ing incredible. The cam is damn near brand new, and it looks amazing. The one on the right looks like a well used car part. Just wipe them down with an oily cloth or something of the like every so often to keep rust from forming. Also, there's two harp toppers that were part of the lamp kits that's being included with each if you go the harp shade route.

You're lucky though, I almost kept the brand new cam for myself. :D

[bitchinbird99lt1]

These are freaking amazing!! I can't wait to purchase some for the Fiance!! He will love them!!

[Fastbird]

Hey Popo, they're NOT going to go out tomorrow. I'm going to pick up some felt tomorrow and cover the bottom side of the bases so they really present a finished look. Not that it can be seen but it will just make it that much nicer IMO. So Thursday they'll go out.

[Pacific_L36]

Where did you get the lamp parts (base, socket, etc.)? I'm working on something similar, but my cams are solid, different ball game.

[Fastbird]

TX Lamp Parts -- really good prices and the shipping was blazing. Ordered on Wednesday last week and had a box waiting for me on Saturday when we got back in town.

I have all the stuff to do more, just don't have any cams (except the original from my C5 which isn't going anywhere, lol). Haven't had the urge to make any.

For some reason, the pictures aren't showing up...

I think the pictures are ummmm 8 years old, but i would like to see them also?
