Also guys...
anyone send in the covers that were on their car?
wonder if there is to much oil\dirt on them to be
coated...

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

It can be done to the stock valve covers. The biggest hassle would be your car would be out of commission while they powdercoat them. Other than that, their are shops that do it.

well thats what winter is for!

Yeah, I suppose. I've forgotten my midwest upbringing in just 3 years. I can drive my Mach anytime of the year here. :)

I've been looking for the coil covers that you have with no luck. Do you remember the guy that you got these coil covers from? They look awsome and I would love to see them on my car.

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

maybe santa will bring me a white pair ...

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

I like the blue ones, and they look close enough to the the Azure color without having to take them down and getting them powder coated. I like the comp orange ones a lot. If I do it, I will just buy the blue ones and have them installed and use the old ones off of my 03 and get those powder coated orange for the wife.

Okay..these are quite possibly the coolest mod I've seen yet! Everything just looks so much cleaner. Does anyone have pics of them done in torch red? Please say yes, I've got some Christmas cash burnin a hole in my pocket!:santa:

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

I happened to get the chrome Ford Racing coil covers off a guy on E-bay, brand new for $99.95 shipped. That is a steal for covers that cost $225.00 anywhere else. I will put them on in the spring with all the other chrome accessories that I will get for X-mas and on my birthday( Jan. 1).

mach 32 v,

Where did you get that radiator cover?

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

Holy cow! I've eaten with silverware that wasn't that clean!!! That's just freakin' exquisite!!!

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

ok, so of those who replaced yours, will you sell me your original ones?

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

That's a great idea! What we need is a set of "floating" valve covers, so we can buy a set, get them powder coated, and then remove and replace the same day, and then sell the old set to the next person on the list!!!

:HOPPY:

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

Sombody's thinking!!!! Add my name to the list. (If there is one)

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

I saw these a while back and thought they looked so good, I saved the pic. I don't know who's they are but they look GOOD! None in Torch red but these are pretty close.

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

well i had a pair drop in to my lap by way of another m1r member since my post above but i plan on keeping my original valve covers. i am replacing my engine with a VT 324 BB/stroker with boss330 heads and want to keep the original as complete as possible for various reasons.

as for "floaters"', you guys should be able to find a set fairly easily. check out post #5 here http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=863520 . i sent the pm so i'll let you know if that set pans out for you guys to grab up.

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

I don't know what a pair is worth, but if each person signed up for the same amount the first person paid, then the valve covers go one way and the money goes the other way. The only problem is the last person on the list, who ends up with an extra set of valve covers. I guess the "last person" is in charge of promoting the concept to the next person....?

Are these about as much trouble to change as a regular OHV set of valve covers?

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

What do you guys think?
Is it ok to get the dirty,oily covers that are on your car coated OR get a NEW set?

Is the floting set a new set or used..?

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

Oh yea.. in the last issue of modifed mustangs there is a white cobra with coating covers.. few nice pics in there..

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

I dont get to see this post much but if anyone is interested in the stock valve covers I should have mine off by sunday and would be willing to sell for a good price. Make an offer.....hoping for around $190 for the pair. I will ship them in the ford racing box I got mine in.

Here are the blue ones I am putting in

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

The powder coaters will have to have them clean. Either you run them through the dishwasher when momma's out for the evening, scrub them with dish soap and a brush, or pay them whatever they want to clean them for you.

The floating set is, by definition, a "used but undamaged" pair, since you would be sending the next guy your set.

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

Would the car be ok with the covers off for a bit??/

Re: Powder Coated Valve covers
 

Mine have been off for two days on one side. everything is covered in oil so corrosion isnt an issue and as long as you keep small sockets away you should be fine. Cover everything just to be safe with rags or something.
