Default I'm in need of vale covers and some pic's

I'm working on my winter project of rebuilding my motors and I jest ran in to another snag my original hp500 valve cover wont clear my rockers and they don't even sit on the corners of the head rail?? I change from cast iron heads to Dart Pro 1s My can is not that big and I'm not ruining stud girdle's

So I'm looking for new valve covers but as long as I'm replacing then I would like to have a pair with a cigarette logo or painted so I need some ideas

so lets see some valve covers logs and painted
Thanks Don

Hey Don, we do not sell the parts at all, we only do the custom paint. the price for the type of work we do ,runs about $1000- $1500 Depending on the detail (set of 4) we would not be interested to just paint a single color or something simple. you would be better off just having a local body shop paint them. we only do total custom work. if your in the need for this type of work. just let me know. good luck with your project!
thanx Harold

Thank's Harold thats what I was looking for some kind of matching paint scheme on the vale covers but I'm thinking that custom paint is going to have to wait until spring as I need a at least one set to bout on for a dyno session in a about two weeks so I'll go buy a couple of set for now and try you back in a month or two that way I wont be in a rush
Thanks Don

Are you dynoing them at R&R? Post some numbers after the session.

I was leaning towards Jeff at Wheeler he has a set up for running inter coolers and has some time ware I could levee every thing set up on the dyno if I have to for re programing or fine tuning of the ECMs
But I'll let you know how it turns out
