if anyone wants a set, i'll make them for free if you supply 2 good tails, and 4 bad tails (use of the reverse lense) i still cant find any wrecked ones.

Wait till you guys see my T/A, and how different it will be.

You can start a business and make these. Sell them on Ebay to european Firebird lovers. I dont think the original GM exports are avalable anymore. They are good looking

you would be surprized as to how cheap people are, i offer to do these valve covers for 90$ a pair plus core, i had about 3 poeple interested. Everyone else thought they could do it them selfs.

I own over $500 in just equipment to do these valve covers, there was interest at first, then everyone thought they could do it themselfs.

I'll advertise a little bit for things i can do, if people arent interested, or to cheap, thats there deal.

You do great work. Unfortunately, there is not much money to be had in selling LT1 specific parts. LT1 owners (generally) don't have much money to throw around.

Also, be careful about advertising on this forum if you're not a sponsor.

if the black cross pattern was removable i would have decaled the honey comb pattern on, but its a 2 piece hot layed mold. if i were to separate the cross pattern there would be light white marks where it was, and i dont think i could buff it out either.
