    Looking for a decent stock valley cover, mine is too pitted to chrome.

    Thanks

    gotcha covered...

    Here's a pic of the valley cover off of my old '65 401. The rest of the parts have been sold. The pic was back in 2000 or so. It hasn't been on an engine since but it did do it's duty as a candle holder outside near the hot tub. :bglasses: It doesn't look as purty as the pic now but there's a bit of surface rust on the bottom (wiped off with my finger - no pitting) and candle wax on the top surface.

    How bout $1 + shipping if you want it. $1.25 if you want the wax taken off :shock:

    lemme know! :TU:

    Hey Rolf. .I just bought a real cool polished aluminum "ribbed" valley pan plate from EELCO in Washington I think. Look up EELCO on the net and you should find the guys. If not, email me direct and I'll lookup the connection for you. PenWheelz@ij.net
    Its perfect for a HotRod nailhead setup. :grin: BTW I have a factory dual quad nailhead setup I'm thinking about selling, however, NOT cheap! :shock:

    I know Marty at NW Speed, but I want the stock cover. I am going with chrome stock valve covers as well, so smooth is the theme.

    Good thinking, though...

    ehubbard is da man.

    He shipped it before he got paid, so I could rush it to the chrome shop.

    Buick dudes helping other Buick dudes.

    Gotta love it.

    Thanks !

    Your welcome Rolf,

    Glad I could help and it cleared off a section of the workbench to boot! I hope it turns out real purty! Gotta love the nailhead! :TU:
