Lookin' very nice.
(When you have the technique down pat, I have some Ford.......nah)
Nice addition for Timmy!
Heck, if it was easy everybody would be doing it!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
Looking good and my address to post them too when you have finished polishing is..... I have always wanted a set of them and I think they would help finish the look on my small block.
Keep up the good work, I'll bet by tomorrow you will be able to see your reflection in them. :D
Whiplash, you can get a new set of GM reproductions for $54 (USD) each from Pace Performance, click here to see them.

Thanks Mike, I checked out the Pace Performance site and I like them. Problem that I have is my ali. finned covers have to have a PCV valve to let the engine breath better. The after market covers I have also have a blank oblong area in the middle instead of the fins going right across the length of the cover. The other annoying thing is with my early Offy Tri Power manifold, I have a choice of three different oil filler openings.:):)
I think those vette covers are the one that most people will agree just look "right" on any sbc engine, be it a traditional rod or otherwise. I love em.
What was the price back when they first came out, something like $ 17 a pair? Shoulda bought a bunch and stored them. :D
