Default where can I get polished valve covers?

Anybody know where I can get polished valve covers? I thought there was a guy selling home polished stuff on eBay a while back, but I can't find him now. Any ideas?

Thanks, -Dave

That's where I bought mine from. I think that I paid like $70 for them. Just check back from time to time he tends to relist or list new stuff as he polishes it.

I'm interested in polished aftermarket valvecovers. Ones without coil mounting bungs. Anyone know where those can be sourced?

If you dunno, then neither do we

In all seriousness, I remember seeing a set of VC's that were the Gen I style w/ "Chevrolet" written on them. No coil packs etc, and supposedly they could be polished out...but I'll be DAMNED if I cant even fid a pic of them now, and Ive searched for the last month, month 1/2

Make it a winter project. I polished mine last year and they still look great. I also did my fuel manifold and exhaust manifold heatshields at the same time. This winter was TB and caliper brackets. Who knows what next winter will bring.
