Wow dude some freaky-ass valve-covers there! That's neat, before the blue finish it looks like it's made out of cast iron or something. Definitely unique I haven't really seen that style anywhere, let alone on VCs!!

probably the same he charged me...  he is a great guy..  pm me or call if you still have my number, and we'll arrange something.
he even sandblasted the underneath of them for me.

no, with them being factory powdercoated, he had to take a sanding disc and sper to them...  it would take forever to remove powdercoating with just a sandblaster...

My block, heads and intake are going to him next...
