Saw one of Westcots Hemis and I want to make a see thru cover, anyone got a cracked or broken one laying around? Has anyone ever made one? What would be the stay away part?

I think he's referring to the see through valve cover tops that Westcot used to sell.

Correct, didn’t think that needed to be said?

There are toy models out there with clear valve covers. My buddy wants some clear 426 hemi valve covers.

They would be cool to have rocker covers in clear. Such a shame to hide all this beauty. They even match my paint job. Lol.

Agree too, the unseen beauty of a Hemi. Also squirt some silicone on those ends then they’re easier to get off later

Didn't CW just take an Indy (or maybe Barton) cast cover and machine the tops off and make up a polycarbonate "window"? That's what it looked like to me.

I used to make them for wedge engines. Never made them for Hemi engines but the idea is the same. Just takes some machine time is all.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
