Folks Of Interest 263 Buick S8 finned valve cover

**********************************************************************************

Psst! His handle ain't "Fireball". Read the text right under the avatar pic of his neon sign.
That'd be like the rest of us callin' you "Champion spark plug tester".

You said fireball but I'm sure you're referring to me. That's a good handle tho., after the engine.
Sure! What you got in mind..talk to me brother. As long as it sells I have no problem making them. Just keep in mind when it comes to valley and lifter covers I refuse to make them flat and boring. I'll always add some contour to make them pop...stand out. I will also add my company name on certain items. Valve covers will be all fins with the company logo inside and maybe hidden between the fins in small letters. I have do this so people know who's work it is. I know most don't like the company logo all visible so I keep that in mind.

 

Lol. Thank you sir.

 

lol sorry bout that. i will pm you with questions
thanks man

 

Quick reminder. When I make my patterns I use different materials. Drills, hole cutters,glue,mdf,primer,paint, sand paper,bondo,epoxy..etc.That alone is expensive. Lets not forget materials to cast the pattern. Its not cheap.
So if you'd like me to take time off from what I'm doing to accommodate your needs I'm going to ask for material fees up front. That will also cover the final product. I'm not making , anything until I make a second casting and sell it so I'm fine by that. So please dont waste my time sending me PM asking for this and that to no respond back with a simple yes or no. Next time ask Vintage Speed or Offenhauser and see what they quote you. You wont like it.

 

I am interested in a valve cover for my 248. Please put me down for one.
Thanks
Dale

 

Wow, what a unique piece! This valve cover with its end view perspective looks to be longer than a story!

I'd love a clever 'tallish' valve cover with your 'contour' built in for my 2 liter BMW 4 with its Weber side drafts...Engine is going in my replica 1930s flat tail Sprint.
If guys knew it was a BMW mill they'd throw rocks at it...
Other parts are well disguised, but that flat, slightly convex V/C with its familiar 'Propeller spinning roundel' just screams its Auto Union beginnings...

 

Thanks. My aim was for something unique and eye catching wich I feel I nailed. Pm with any request. I'll explain more then.

 

I would be interested in the intake and covers for a 248. Any idea what you would have to have for them?

 

Hello Jesus, my name is Grady. I was wondering if you would be interested in casting 4 finned valve covers and 2 valley covers for Packard V8 ? I can send the steel ones for patterns. Thanks.

 

Pm me Grady.

 

It's still in thee air. Im would like for it to stay around $200-250. Its long and tall..

 

I would order the set for my 263

 

Killer job

 

I know this is an old post but that cover and intake are awesome! I went looking for valve cover ideas as I am working on "customizing" one for my 263. Are you finished with the intake. I may be interested in both intake and valve cover.

 

Money is a bit tight right now but still in the works. Due to health reasons i cant keep a job and income is very iffy right now

 

Buick dress up parts aside,.......Sorry to hear of your health problems and hope you experience much improvement.

Best Wishes,
Ray
