Default Re: Valve Covers

I've had the Crane's sitting in the garage for a few months...never got around to changing them. I have rechromed originals on the car now and they look too slick so I bought the Crane's. They're also too slick, chrome is too nice, spot welds look OK and clip is correct. I just kept looking at them over and over trying to decide if they were worth their cost. I started to send them back but decided to keep them and use them on the Camaro and send the rechromes to the Biscayne. Like I say they're OK and look much better than the other repops but the only way to get them really correct would be NOS or mint used. I've never seen anybody do rechromes that look correct... always come out too slick. Just can't duplicate GM's cheap flash chrome look. Greg
