Well, folks, I had some time on my hands today. My truck is down waiting on parts so I decided to take the plunge and install my custom valve covers. I fabricated the valve covers just about a year ago. Then it took me 6 months to paint them.
Here they are, on the truck....Finally!



Bobby

 

Looking good but you spelled Cadillac wrong.


Just kidding

 

Damn That engine looks clean! What year did you say that was? Air filter fits the bill too , Another day well spent!!

 

Nice, Bobby. Looks great. Hope you get your truck back on the road soon.

Looks great. I hope painting the air cleaner is next on the list.

 

They really look good and also look original. I agree with Randy, you got to get some fresh paint on that aircleaner!

 

Sweet! but that air cleaner needs a 49 Lincoln hood ornament on it..

(private joke)

Almost a shame to paint that obviously authentic Caddy air cleaner housing (almost! I said)

 

looks great, Bobby. 2 thumbs up.

 

Leave that Air Cleaner just the way it is.
A couple trips around the block and that oil breathin' Monster Caddy Mill will spooge that whole engine compartment back to GM Specs.

 

Looking good Bobby. Hmmmm.... seems like some of your projects have the same timeline that mine do.....someday.

 

at least it's the right color... :-)

nice job., bobby

As near as I can tell you have 500 colors on that truck.......
Lookin good !

 

I'm glad to see you putting your down time to good use. Looking Great!

 

Some of our inmates here may have been under heavy meducation and or are new to the center and are not aware that those valve covers are one-off, designed and built by Bobby.
If you have the opportunity look up the thread and read how he took several sets of perfectly good valve covers, cut them up making lots of pieces of sharp metal edges, beat, clamped, and welded the cuts on his body together, invoked the basic concept of "Put the Wet Stuff on the Red Stuff", and despite himself ended up with the work of art that he has shared with us today.
Well done Sir.
