Hi Alan! RPM is starting to really take some weird directions regarding its applications. A company that manufactures Medical Equipment is starting to use it. The Gun Collector Industry is interested in using it, in contrast to the oils that have been widely accepted for eliminating surface oxidation on gun metal. (We have a different name, ingredient mix and color product for the Gun Industry.) We will be entering the product in SEMA's "New Product Award" pavilion next year. Lots of things are brewing. We have a new crew of employees and are in the works for purchasing a new manufacturing facility. This is a very exciting time for ECS.
The books are still in the works and should be finished sometime this year!
I hope you patented this stuff.

....Maybe have a group buy on the books when they come out!....
Our group of guys were discussing how this book should be offered to the Mopar Community. Would everyone rather have photos and detailed captions as the main format (with an overview explanation page at the beginning of each chapter) or a "how to" as it relates to the restorations and fewer photos? More pictures or more commentary?

A big fat book with lots of both. If you have to make a choice between the two I think pictures carry a lot of bang for the buck.

Dave - as a process engineer here is what I would want:
Before picture with observations listed as to what is unique.
After picture.
Cookbook step by step process as to how you got from before to after.
To me, that's a book worth it's weight in gold (well maybe not gold since it's crazy priced right now but you get the idea)

Dave , (my  )
I believe a balance between photos & "how to" would be great with a brief overview explanation at the beginning of each chapter. Might be easier to explain how each step in the restoration was accomplished. IE: materials used , process to achieve desired results , etc. {I hope this makes sense?} I don't think you can go wrong with lots of photos either with brief explanation under each photo of what the reader is seeing. I truly believe you will have a "ground breaking" work as there are lots of "how to" books , however none seem to give you the actual OEM restoration process of what is or is not correct.

I really like the before & after pics...then the detail of what went on "during"
This could be a very long book!!!

Dave, I have been using RPM on a few applications and it is outstanding. The product is easy to use and has proven to be very durable and doesn't modify the original appearance of the component. While I have used it on a limited basis for Restoration purposes I also decided to apply it to bare metal on my daily driver during this past winter, which of course was quite harsh. After several snows, ice cycles and salt coverage, along with some washing, the component still looks as good as the day I applied the product. Excellent product for the restoration industry, thanks for the sample; I will be purchasing it in the future for my next restoration.

On the valve cover gasket topic, can anyone post pics of factory untouched 318's? Cork or rubber?
Mike,
I am quite sure they were cork but somehow turned into rubber after they were installed by the Factory. This is especially true when you choose to ignore documented - factual research!

What is RPM?
A treatment for bare metal to keep it from rusting.
http://ecsautomotive.com/productdesc.php?co=a&id=1
http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/detail/33262/RUST_PREVENTATIVE_MAGIC_LIQUID.html
I read the independent labratory test. I was particularly impressed by the abrasive test, even their sandblaster didn't remove the stuff!
So, can you paint over RPM? If not, how do you prep an RPMed surface for paint? Will lacquer thinner or wax & grease remover touch the stuff?
Does it work just as well on less porous surfaces? Maybe I can put it on my polished aluminum and not have to re-polish as often. Might be nice over chrome also. I hate when a chromed part starts to rust.
