6 cyl chevy finned valve cover?

Anyone know if a PLAIN finned chevy 235 valve cover exists or is on the market? Not an Offenhauser or Wayne but just like them only just finned and no names or writing?

Don't think that'll be too easy to do. The name on the cover is the maker's signature and that is gold.

 

You can alway's buy one and mill the name off ?

 

I have a couple of plain, no fin, no polished covers like in my avatar. I polished the one for the avatar pic but the come unpolished

 

In my thirty years of collecting 216/235 speed equipment, I've never seen a finned cover for one without some sort of name cast on it.

 

Haven't seen one. like stated above, the maker wants everyone to know who made the cover. If you can find one then it would look awesome!

 

Hey Al, Maybe give SoCal a call

 

Toms covers are pure ART. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^We have one in our lakester.

 

They put the name on so other people who see it can track the name down and buy one if they like it. One who knows.

 

i would like one with out the name also.someone should make them i think they would sell good.

 

here you go

 

made my own-modified an offy

 

sweet!!!!

 

Like porn, I am going to have some alone time with ours right now.

 

6inarow was that one of the C.A.W. Valve covers out of Denver. I have one and they look a lot alike.

 

No, Tom/6inarow produced those. One of the coolest modern speed parts IMHO

 

When we are ready I am going to polish another one Trent and we can see which one looks more racy.

 

I had both CAW covers and liked the later one better. I also had an Edmunds and a Wayne. cut the Wayne apart to see how the pattern were made. After I looked at all of them I decided that the older patterns were OK for the times but there was room for improvement.

SO I made a pattern, cast a few up and made some final changes and that is the cover you see today. So, yes it has the appearance of the CAW but if you had the 2 side by side, you can see a difference.

The one complaint i hear is that they are not "old school" enough. Yeah right - get a hold of the little pages or the CAW and they tell me what old school looks like.

I foolishly got rid of my CAW"S. If you want to trade, I would trade you for a new cover I made.

 

Thanks 6inarow for making these covers. They are really nice. I would buy one if i didn't already own a caw and edmunds. The old castings were very bad. The caw is way heavy and the edmunds were made from beer cans. They have so many bubbles that if you polish too much you will burn holes through the metal. I would uy one of yours and mill some fins if desperate. Anyone thought of talking with moon? They have no name nailhead covers. Maybe enough intreast is there, they will make 235 covers.-cb

 

Hey thanks for the post - check out Curt B here on the HAMB. He bought a couple of my valve covers and milled some grooves in one or 2 like you describe. They turned out very very nice. But he isnt your average hot rodder - this guy has talent that not a lot of people have. Check your his pics or ask him to post some pics up. it isnt a true finned valve cover but has a very cool appearance
