Pic request : Chrome/Polished Valve Covers
Although the engine on my 84 is plenty clean, the wrinkle finish on the valve covers is starting to come up. I'm considering either full black or polished/chrome valve covers.
Does anyone have pictures of chrome/polished valve covers?84 - under the knife

Rabid Chimp has more.
Mind you I'm not the first to do the polishing. Just took my inspiration from other members on this forum with super clean engine bays.
Regards,
James

Nice pics James.......I'd like to see that car in person again. Perhaps you can bring it up to a toronto meet.
Depending on what time your ohio meet is next year I'll be there.
That doesn't mean you can't come up here.

James...that engine bay looks awesome! I like the polished covers, with the black inlay - very cool looking.
I went with gloss black powder coating. Cleans up really easily too. Intake pipe is ceramic coated.RIP Leslie Grover - really miss you and the turbo toad my friend

nice.. you guys came through with nice pics...
now I'm starting to think powder coat black.. matches the valve cover... but without the highlights, just a gloss black... hmm
it would really contrast my spark plug galley which is very bright and clean from the engine rebuild.
does anyone have a spare cover on the oil cap side? I already have a spare on the pass side.
has anyone actually done chrome?84 - under the knife
