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!

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.

I looked in to billet covers and the price just put it out of what I'm willing to spend.
I got a set of GM performance part covers, used a milling machine, then took all the casting off with sand paper, then hit it with a scotch brite pad.

after
