How about a set of valve covers from a holden. I spoke to this guy who had them on his grand prix with an L36. He got them on ebay.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! These are exactly what i want..Not to take anything away from those flame covers ( FKN Sweet!!!!) But those are like a gorgeous woman...High maintenance.

Hey Guz,

I would be quite interested in knowing what V6 Holden those came off of. Do you have an serial or product part numbers for those VCs? Also I dig your dog bones too, what are the from?

Looking great as always!

OMG:th_drooling: I WANT THE BLUE FLAMED SETUP.

Whitcomb, i take it you put the resin in the grooves then did a really thin layer of body filler over the whole top of the VC or just the area where the resin is?

also how did you prep the supercharger housing, snout and all to prep it

 

[whitcomb]

yea put the resin in the grooves, make sure to scuff the cover first then fill with resin sand down, smooth , then bondo and sand smooth, if done right your lucky if you have 1/16 of bondo anywhere its usually pretty thin, then primer and paint..

 

[whitcomb]

oh and for the blower i spray the **** out of it with brake cleaner as the blower like brand new anywhats and primer, base, airbrush, kandy and clear, really dont need to sand it as it rough already but next one i do for my car i am gonna sand it till its smooth and then paint it..

Well unfortunately this is not my car. I have no idea where this person got his dog bones. The holden covers can be found on ebay once in awhile. He also mentioned to me that he was useing a cork gasket with the holden covers since he got them used.

thats 97coupe on clubgp, that has the V6 ones.

i got L32 covers, they are black stock in a wrinkle finish. i then used the Reflective concepts valve cover overlays (only used the middle stripes) in reflective red.

the flash on my camera makes them look orange.
