    Valve Cover Inspiration

    Anyone have some cool M42 Valve Covers to share?
    Took it off for an extensive job, so thought It'd be a good time to freshen it up.

    I was thinking M-Stripes, with Silver lines...just an idea.

                        Holy funk, I think we have a winner.
                        How do you think he went about that chrome/polished finish?
                        You know the owner?

                          correct me if im wrong but Im thinkin thats a polished finish. It takes a lot of time and patience.
