Per the request to post my valve covers. The silver one I modfied and it’s on my 59.

Probably not for sale, but definitely unique!

Those are all very nice, but I like the plain old stock ones. Whether painted or factory chrome, I think they look great. The others never really appealed to me, Carmine.

I agree about the color. I actually prefer the pre 63 gray painted covers. Not a fan of chrome but I run whatever works.

I notice nobody is selling anything unique.

I am hopeful we will have at least one set of prototype valve covers on display at the Nationals in Ohio. I have a few ideas on the 3D printed valve covers that should get some hearts pumping.

None are for sale. I looked for a set a good 5 years. The black set I knew about but the guy would not sell them even though I offered him a big price for them. He passed away and I luckily found them at a local swap meet. The ones on my 59 I found on eBay after looking everyday for years. I have never seen the orange set before so I suspect they are super rare also.

Did the ones on your 59 start life as Mercruiser's or ???

The ones on the 59 started as the black ones and I slightly modified them.
