1970 Chevelle valve covers

**SS427** · #1 02-06-2007, 04:11 PM

I need two sets of good used 1970 only, Chevelle valve covers. Can be painted or chromed as I will rechrome. Must be in good shape with no damage or severe pitting. If unsure what you have, shoot me a photo and I will verify. Please respond via PM. Thank you.

Maybe you could post pics of what they look like.

Rick, I should be getting mine back from Ramos Plating this week.I'll post the pics then and you can decide if you want to use them.I believe Ol' Doc Sam had a few sets at his place and can check if you want?

Rick, Just got my valve covers back from Ramos and I have to say that I am thoroughly not happy! I did not think that the covers were going to be such a headache.They are pitted all over, the small dents that I asked to be fixed are not.They look like they came off of a survivor car instead of being freshly rechromed.I have not had a chance to speak with the Ramos employee's but plan to call them tomorrow.They did only charge me half price and wrote a note saying that to fix them correctly they would have to grind then down which would warp them and that the pitting was caused by the covers being plated before.These are factory original covers so I know that they have been plated only once.I just wish that they would have called me to let me know the problem, now I have a pair of valve covers that I can't use.Anyone have a good set or should I just go to Crane's? Here are some pictures of them.

I found a guy that replated mine EXACTLY like original OEM chrome and when I got them back I thought they were NOS. Unfortunately, he did not acid dip them and the chrome was not sticking to the inside and coming off in sheets. I returned them to him and when the finally came back to me they looked like they had been used as a football at the Super Bowl game. Needless to say, they were/are junk! Hence the need for some more sets.

I will give Ramos as try.
