    why remake them, they're still available used. And you know the repops wouldn't look right.

    I was looking to get a pair as a christmas gift without needing to strip them and powder coat them, but I will if I need to.

    If you want new style, with holes for breathers and fit later heads, Billet Specialties offers them. If you have early heads and need original ones you will have to check sites that sell things thru online bids.

    Somebody is making some finned aluminum ones that look like the old Corvette valve covers but the script says "Chevrolet" instead of "Corvette," but I assume you don't want finned aluminum or the price that goes with it?
    You can probably pick up a set on eBay that are already cleaned and powdercoated.

    If you have to have new ones check a resto place like Classic industries.

    I bet PML is the place you're thinking of... they actually make a multitude of styles and scripts for many different engines... nice covers, but pricy.

    i think you would be better off just getting originals there still around and dirt cheap. I picked up a set with a small dent in on of em for 5 bucks at a swap last summer even after redoing em there still cheaper the repops.
     
  11. They have been repoping them for years, any Corvette supplier will have them, they range from about $125 for the ones with the casting line in them to $250 plus for NCRS correct repos.

    I think there might be some confusion as to whether you are looking for stamped steel valve covers with the chevrolet logo, or cast aluminum valve covers with the corvette logo...

    I had a set of the stamped steel ones in chrome on my original 67 SS 295hp Camaro and remember them being a little rare even back in the 1980's...

    I guess I better quit giving them away then
     
  14. I have a single. Looked in the cab of a Chevy truck going to junk and there it was.. of course just the one, but it was free. Just like the Dodge Red Ram Hemi cover..and the Pontiac M/T cover.. damn things are getting like socks out of the laundry.

  19. Just in case some other idiot comes along and bumps this thread from 2007 back to the top, I sold the Dodge Red Ram single valve cover a very long time ago.
