well... with a sudden spurt of "git-'er-dun" i bring to you... 
would have gotten the valve covers on too, but the following picture put a damper on my spirits. figure i'm in for a new set of wingtip valvecover fasteners right away... luckily i got the busted end out easy, even though it was below the head surface...
... this really could have sucked!!!

they were easy as pie to get on. i really had no difficulty. the scratches were a shipping thing i guess. he had a SBC set just come in as well and they looked worse. i might touch them up later on.

i would imagine they will. they're made out of pretty thick material so i'm not worried about rust or anything. it isn't going to be a show truck so it's not that big a deal if they get discolored i guess. i would have liked to got them powdercoated, but i'm a little excited you see... 
thanks colin... i almost wish i had went ahead with the cam kit now, but i'll save that for another year...
