I've got a set of the of Mickey Thompson aluminum valve covers for a big block. I tried just about everything to get them to shine, but no luck.
Maybe that kit Mothers sells might work?

Thanks John. I'll start on the interior soon then once that's done, I'll do the body mods then put it in for paint. Body mods will include the rear bumper, lower front spoiler, 72 egg crates in the fenders and a small hood scoop. Also trying to decide if a Monza style fuel cap will work with the big rear window body...
They started out like this:
"Machined" away the fins around one of the oil filler holes:
Made up a disc, tapped the cover and bolted the disc in:
Then powder coat and a modified oil filler cap:

Yeah, I reckoned they turned out pretty good. I wanted them to sort of look OEM and I think I achieved that...

Certainly mate. If you want to ship a set of valve covers to me, I'll do them and sort out a way of getting them back to you.
If you're serious, let me know and I'll give you my New York shipping address :thumbs:

I would hope the 'replica' is better metal than the OEM.....I just may pick up a set of them, but i'ts crazy shipping so I can find a way to do them here, not a issue....
from what I hear the OEM covers are sad junk, used to have a set of cast covers on this car, 4 on the flange...best I could do was paint them....
but the L98 heads are 4 on center, so I got a set of sheetmetal steel covers and had them powdercoated black crinkle....hell with it....
Be crazy to find a set to take 4 in center with that style....and room for the medallion...with the aluminum ribs....be about the only style I would switch out what I have for....and then they would need the breather baffles....

I had a set of originals on a 1971 Rally Nova. Never had a problem with them. Never leaked or corroded. And I like the cast-in drippers :thumbs:

I've got a pair of these brand new in the box for big block Chevy.
