Those look very nice! About how many hours did you invest in them?

Thanks alot!! The valve covers took forever!! Probably have 12 to 15 hours in each one. By the time i got to the heads i was getting really good at making little tiny 220 grit sanding cones for my dremel with sand paper and a hot glue gun!! Took me about 8 hours to do one head. Im in the construction industry and its slow around here this time of year so i have nuthin better to do!!

I agree, either seal it or powdercoat them clear to keep that shine.
