Default Thanks Paul Borowski!

The Big Brown Truck just left. The valve covers look great!



Thanks for the quick shipping and great packaging. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

Jeff-glad your happy with them. I hope you feel they were a good buy for you. I'm glad to see someone use them. They look great on your motor. I've had those in my basement wrapped in those same newspapers that were from 1994. Guess I thought I was going to need them someday for my '75 L-82, which has valve covers in the same exact shape as those. To me, that valve cover was one of Chevrolet's nicest ones ever made.

They just look right to me. I didn't want to go with aftermarket, and I don't like the painted steel covers. Took me a while to find just the right set, but these are definitely worth the wait.

edit: Did you get my check yet?

Don't worry Paul. If the check doesn't arrive, I'll personally repossess them for you! And although I'd then be tempted to keep them for myself, you're in luck -- I already have a set of those...in chrome!

I'm dying for a set of those.
Someone decided my motor looked better in stamped steel chrome.

You're right, the aftermarket ones just don't have the right look.......that was a great deal from Paul, they look great !!!!!! Much better than he described them ..........

I'm regretting that I didn't buy them first.......but as they say: "Ya snooze, ya lose"
