Just have a final polish to do before its 100% so the pics may show a little dirt and discoloring from me working on it but for the most part this one is DONE. The sprocket came from and this lamp belongs to BlackbirdWS6. The cam is one of Wildbillys SBC roller cams.

For the guys wanting LS cams- I got 3 of them in the mail monday. Just waiting on the timing sprockets to come. Otherwise the rest of the parts are ready to assemble and the bases are made.

thanks i feel really good about it now. I think once you see the LS1 Cams with the sprockets on a black base you wont be able to control yourself anymore i know i cant help but display them all over the house haha. my wife loves them so its cool but how many damn lamps does one living room need she asked..

i tried to take some really detailed photos but theres some parts you really cant see. we made special plates to cap off the top of the cam where the lamp holder sits. The lampholders themselves are black unlike the first model which was gold. On the bottom the nuts are counter sunk and I used three round felt pads (four will wobble ) so it wont scratch on anything (and so i dont have to put a groove in the base for the wiring). They have silver 12 foot cords and black pull chains. I had this idea I'm going to try out for the pull chains a bit later using old GM keys...I think you guys will love it. Its all very clean and very sturdy. I really think if it fell the only damage would be to the floor to be honest. Not that I'm going to test that theory...

Glad everyone likes them so far

What was the price if you provided cam and sprocket for a black one?

Also, would you be able to use a lifter for the bottom of the pull chain? I have plenty of those

That lifter idea is really cool, as is the spark plug pull. I can't wait to see your upcoming pictures.

I could probably do a lifter or spark plug pull. Ill have to dig up a few lifters and figure something out.

I threw a bunch in a box with a cam and sprocket coming your way via dump truck delivery. If you gut the lifter and drill a hole through the end cap, feed the chain through and crimp/connect something to the chain so it can't pass through the hole, and reassemble with no internals, should work pretty good

Just so everyone reading this is aware. I edited my original post just now to clean it up. The original post was made when the first lamp was built and alot of things were brought up and added or changed. Ive had alot of questions about shipping and pricing differences.

Like I originally said the black with the sprocket would be a little more. The reason is that the black parts a little more, the base takes more work and lacquer to get that deep black shine, and I bought the sprockets in bulk.

I also added my paypal information and whatever else was important.

Thanks everyone for the kind words I'm very pleased with these and I think everyone will be extremely happy with them

If theres any questions just PM me

Steve was in the area today so we arranged to meet up so he could deliver the lamp. I think the lamp came out great! There is a lot of work put into this with a lot of little details. Even the wife thought this was nice enough to put in our house and not in the garage. I like that he included a CFL lamp as well. Below are some pics I took. I am going to get a spark plug or something else to hang from the pull cord.

Thank you brian, Im very happy that you are so pleased with it. Last night ltb1low dropped off some parts for sweetbmxrider and along with them were some old lifters im going to fashion into something for the pull chains. I'll see how it goes but I'll be sure to send you one to attach to your lamp too. Also thanks for taking those pictures, even with my nikon d3000 i can seem to take good photos..I actually borrowed these pictures you took for my ebay ad and ls1tech ad.

Just an update for everyone waiting for a lamp- All the parts are ready to assemble I'm just waiting on my sprocket delivery which is scheduled for Monday. Once they arrive and are cleaned/buffed up I can assemble them and get them to you guys.

I would love a lifter pull chain and no problem borrowing the pictures. Good luck with the rest of the sales.

Alright guys, you wanted it. You asked for it, so here it is.. the Holy Grail...or the phantom edition..whatever you want to call it. The definition of badass.

LS1 Cam. LS1 Timing Sprocket. Black base. Black Shade. Black lampholder. Black chain. Lifter pull chain.

This one belongs to Mark68...honestly I'm sad to see it go..I think its my favorite so far...but I'm packing it up for shipping shortly...Hope you like it!
