Show your cool finned aluminum parts

awesome breathers, who made em?

 

Booooo...

At least the first one you posted is cool (got one of those, too).

Too bad it's faux. The real deal was posted earlier in the thread.

 

WTF is with the import?? I dont give a rats ares if you had to sell your ass for a month for that! Send it back to the junkyard! Dude are you in the wrong place or what!

Dont have any pics but I just got some aweome finned rocker covers, plug covers and a finned valley cover for my 401 Nailhead. There EELCO and I am more than happy with them!

 

You have great taste

Mine...

I'm on here because no one on any of the import sites actually makes anything or has any interest in fabricating anything. as far as your comments on my car i'm not going to bring my self down to the level of hate anyones car that is not exactly like yours. posted a pic of a really hard to find finned valve cover in the finned parts section and get bashed for it. maby someday people will realize that not all guys who have imports are the giant wing fart can variety and some of us actually work hard on our cars. yes this is a board for tradinal hot rods,yes i like traditional rods,thats why i never post any pictures.

 

Not mine, but quite impressive.

 

The finned breathers have GT on them and are seen in early 60's catalogs as GT breathers.

 

just a few

 

Stude....

 

lBB41 I really like that shifter cover. Very imaginative. I remember someone on here at one time posted pics of a gas pedal they made out of an old M/T valve cover. I like it when someone goes outside the box a little, but still keeps it hot rod looking.

 

thanks, over the summer an older fella asked me if it was some rare speed part, I just pointed to my buddies rear and said no it's one of those..lol I do have a set of 440 M/T covers, I like that pedal idea

 

That's the one that does it for me. One day a 4 holer like that will be on my roadster.

 

one of the 327

 

here is mine nothing fancy but the valve covers will be cleaned up before the first drive but the block has been painted with a single stage and the intake is powdercoated .

 

VERY NICE!

 

So where do I find a finned Chevrolet script valve cover for my 235-261 like the one Road Runner posted above?

 

Not much, but here's a couple, had to throw one in of the little briggs:

 

i just bought a swivel neck for my 283..its sittin here on the desk! i thought it was going to look stupid, but it looks great on your motor, so i guess it wont!

 

looks great what are your stacks made from? look like old aircraft cyls. or ones from a vw machined off.

 

Here's a couple of coils I'm running

 

this is all the finned aluminum I have

 

Mickey Thompson Hemi valve covers

 

I got them while at the Turlock swap meet many years ago. They were raw castings. If I remember correctly, I bought them from H & H

 

You can buy ones like them here...http://maundspeed.com/hot_rod_parts.html

 

thanks!! i was looking for the coil cage as well.
