Interested in a polished Valve Cover?
I have gotten quite good at polishing aluminum over the last few months and was wondering if there was a demand for these things, as of now, I have 3 valve covers for the LSJ sitting in my shop and I am going to start to polish them this weekend if there is any interest. I was thinking between $200- $250 per valve cover with a core. I wish I would have taken pictures of the nitrous bottle and engine mounts I did for my buddies Nova. They were Awesome. Any thoughts on this? Does the price sound about right?
anyone interested?
35 Views and no reply? maybe I wont be polishing these things lol??
is the price to high?

The price is a little steep, I've done several of these over the last 3 years. Here's a pic of a polished cover!
It takes me about 8 hours to get it like this
Here is a 2.4 almost done!

why do you say that?
Thats nice. Thats about what the nitrous bottle I did looked like. the worst part about that was getting the purple ZEX paint off.

its nothing against you, its the mods see someone trying to make a product to sell for us ( which im all for ) and they lock everything thats not a supporting vendor.

oh, I'm fine with that if im breaking rules. (not meaning to break any) I just have some spare parts and thought i would polish them before selling them. I could always put them on E-Bay.
