Rotary Desk Clock Project

after seeing the chrome rotors that rotaryresurection was selling i decided to do it myself. I bought the parts from FONG and this is what it looked like at first.





Then i took them to a local powder coating shop and this is what they look like now











Let me know what you guys think! I love this thing and i think it came out great!

I think you do have the coolest array of "stuff" on your desk, keep it accumulating!

looks good. if you paid more than about $65 for that stuff you paid too much. kevin landers has been selling a lot of powdercoated rotors and housings lately.

I paid $50 for both the housing, clock, and rotor, and $65 to have it coated. It cost more, but kevin was out of them. Also, you cant really see on my desk, but on the other side is my collection of RX7 vin tags. If you look closely there is a busted apex seal, busted side seal, bent rod and busted piston from my talon, 6 port sleeve inserts holding up my SCCA license, a broken off beaten honda intake valve, and a broken off beaten up V12 natural gas twin turbo diesel valve. hahaha i guess i have a lot of cool used and broken car crap on my desk!
