455 custom fab valve cover

New to site.. looks cool. Anyone know of custom fab valve covers for BBB 455 ? I thought they were on e-bay but all I see is Pontiac.

TY in advance

 

Thank you Larry

 

Rob's are very nice, but they're not fabricated.... they're machined.

Here are mine. PM me for more info.

Thanks,
Steve

 

I believe Steve (SRE) did these...

 

I have a set of the hand fabbed covers for a BBB

 

Yes, those are the "wide body" version.

these are from me and are made from a solid block.

 

I like the wire looms, very clean.........and the covers look awesome

 

Way cool with the BUICK in that script!

(Woot my 1000th post!)

 

thanks.

How Much does a set of these valve covers typically run on pricing ? Thanks. Bill

 

Dang! Did you say Porn!!

 

Nice job to both of you, lot of time put in these projects not to mention material costs.

 

Thanks,
My material costs are on the high side, but I can't imagine what Robs costs are for chunks of billet that size!! Robs valve covers are definitely a masterpiece!

Steve,

How much for yours? Do you also do polishing?

Thank you.

They start at $500.00 / pr. for just plain flat covers and go from there.

They start at $325 for bare (with no accessories) and have additional costs for features welded on. As an example an O-ring style screw in filler cap as pictured above is $55 installed.

These have 1/4" thick bases made of 6061 T6 and the bodies are 5000 series .090" sheet aluminum.

I used to offer the fully polished version for $100 extra, as that's what the local polishers charged me, but I haven't sent them a pair in years, so I don't know what the current costs are. One thing I do know is that they polish up very easily. If I take a set "as welded" and apply a quality aluminum polish by hand, they have the look of a "semi polished" valve cover. If I had to rate the shine I would give it a 7 out of 10 (10 being full polish).

I would apply the aluminum polish and machine buff it off (for an even better finish) for $20 per set... just to cover my costs.
