so i went to napa and grabbed some gasket material. i laid out a mep-003a/002a valve cover gasket on the computer. i put the material in my vinyl cutter and set it up to do thick material and presto....computer perfect cnc cut valve cover gaskets.

That certainly makes short work of that task. Sweet.

haha yes, well valve cover gaskets wont be in short supply lol. now that i got that worked out i can do pretty much any gasket on the machine. just scan the part, lay it out and cut. i want to get some decent gasket material though. this was just some cheap stuff for the test

Man that is super cool. You can make just about all the gaskets sans the head gasket. If you're interested I just received a bunch of gaskets. I could mail them to you (maybe even scan them into pdf?) so you could have them in your data base. Let me know.

john that would be fantastic. if all the gaskets are small enough to fit on a flatbed scanner then you could just scan them as a black and white image at 300dpi resolution then just email me each pic. the image needs to be kept full size. if any of them are bigger than a scanner then i would need you to mail them to me. you can send the images to jim@xtremekreations.com

Very cool, Jim. I'll print the hour meter mounts and you cut the gaskets.
