Lets talk billet valve covers!

[ccracin]

John,

I would either talk to Casey at Wegner or check out Clayton Machine works. His new ones are really nice. They are sand cast and then machined. They have an insert that is carbon or paintable to accent them. I have no experience with them other than I have touched and seen them in person and they look to be excellent quality. Here is a link.

I think they would fit the spirit of your build well. Price is good too. Good Luck. Love your build!

Chad,
Do you have pics? The ones on their site look like a photoshop rendering and not an actual product.

The Clayton Machine Works valve covers did not make it into production.

I'll check with Clay on production as well as pics if they are in production. I just saw him at the Hot Rod and Restoration show a few weeks ago. Honestly I didn't realize when I posted the link that it wasn't a photo. The real ones looked just like that. I'll get back to you guys.

Alright, I talked with Clay. The valve pan covers that Grnova is talking about are the standard small block Chevy valve covers. He still wants to make them, but they are on hold for the time being. The LS covers are a go. He is getting the casting patterns and so forth tooled up. The cast versions should be available by the end of summer. He can get you covers sooner, but will be machined from billet. I don't have pricing on those at this point. John, if you are interested, pm me and I will get you in touch with Clay or you can contact him through his site. Clay will try to get me some photos tomorrow to post here for yah. I hope this helps. I really like your car. It strikes a nerve as our truck will have many of the same colors etc. as your car. Stay tuned!

John,

Pics As promised! As I said, If you are interested, you can contact Clay via his website or PM me and I can get you info.







Enjoy!

The cast ones aren't out yet and the machined ones are 1200$ which is a little more then I would spend on valve covers. They look awesome though.

I like the fabricated valve covers better than billet or cast. Probably a lot lighter too.
