These are the cheapo high profile gold anodized feather weight valve covers. Usually about $20.00 Dollars at the swaps because everyone complains that they warp to easy. Hint:, don't tighten down the hatches too tight when installing them with good quality valve cover gaskets like the new Moroso blue types.
A little black magic was had with a body work hammer, billet steel block as a support underneath and finishing disc to flatten and smooth out the raised (embossed) Moroso logo.
Throw it all into a bath of Oven cleaner solution to rid it of the anodizing plating and then wet sand with 600 to gain some tooth.
Paint Hemi monster orange and add Super/Stock sticker and presto; Stock covers.
Stock Covers, Stock Covers, Stock Covers. You have to rehearse that in your mind so that you can look truthful when you say to those X-men that they're STOCK. LOL.
Steel covers were 2-3/4 pounds each. These? 1-1/2 pounds each. Saved 2-1/2 pounds on the engine.
