Probably the same place as the multiple stencils that seem to disappear. Transported to another dimension?

This subject came up awile back and seems to me the last guy disappeared or something. If true, that sucks. That was one of those things that put this site such a great place.

I was part of that chain, never knew what happened to that set, went through at least two more MMs after me that I know of...

Oh, so someone would get a set of dress-up covers and then send the stock set to the next person? Or would that person dress them up and send them?
What were the details, exactly?
I really like this idea, it sounds like it could be awesome.
Personally I have B-head valve covers so I couldn't participate lol.

Correct. Once upon a time you would be in line for a set of valve covers (you paid shipping IIRC) and then you could send them out for powder coating. Once they are done, you take yours off and send them to the next member. This kept the downtime to only the swap and eliminated the wait time having yours done.

Yep. Valve covers and COP IIRC

Well, I have a set of 04 covers off a SB if anyone needs to borrow them for a bit. No spare cop covers though. :beer:

I was involved in the cam cover and stencil exchange.....

Passed them on after use. Don't remember who I sent them to.

I received a set to do for a member but one of them was cracked, maybe from removing the passenger side. I don't remember. Maybe that ended that chain.

Edit: I'm not sure if that was the loaner set either, but I think it was. Or maybe it was a local loaner set.
