Valve Covers... Post surgery pic:

[PhilM]

Well I figured I'd post a pic of my completed valve covers (just for you pacemakr ) - maybe give some others some idears?!... they started out as the TA perf. ones with the bars, embossed logo, with cast wrinkle finish... I smoothed them out on the mill and removed the "bars" so they're easier to clean. BTW, if anyone has attempted to level these things out you will find that they are NOT at all flat. After the milling i spent a great deal of time on the sanders trying to get em more flat. Powdercoated em Reflective Chrome and *POOF*:

I'll probably post the engine when its finally done... SOON !!! should look purdy - lots of shiny stuff.
