Hp273 Valve covers back from Leanna

Here's a few before and after shots of my valve covers that Leanna just got done for me. They turned out fantabulous and Leanna went the extra mile to make them perfect. I owe her big. See for yourself. She's the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice! Who's Leanna? I love those valve covers.

What motor are you going to put them on?

Mike, it was my pleasure helping with your restoration. They were a challenge for sure! I'm delighted to hear you're happy with the results though.

Moparlee, it's my pleasure to make your acquaintance <curtseying>. I'm as surprised as Toolman is to discover we haven't 'met' before (you've been here a few months longer than me) ... maybe some day we'll get to work together on one of your projects.

fstfish Don, the fins have to be removed / reattached for the coating to be successful.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!!!! I love what I do around here.

So you are coating that is wrinkle? Killer, I really thought it was you. I didn't realize the wrinkle was able to be done in a coating deal? So is that a power coat application?

Better late than never with my response. I type slow. I'll figure that out when I get there. LOL I think I'll pull the intake and clean it up. It needs to be re-sealed. I also have a nice oil pan ready to go. My original one leaks and is pretty crunched on the bottom side. I got a front end kit from PST that I hope to install or have installed this summer. I don't want to do anything that will prevent me from driving it. I have a graduation to prepare for this June and house repairs and painting after that so the Dart project will be in small pieces this summer. toolman

Moparlee, yes, it's a wrinkle powder called "Wetstone Black" that's a dead ringer for Mopar's famous wrinkle finish. I use a lot of it around here.

Powders aren't just shiny black anymore!!! LOL There's over 6,500+ colors, textures and finishes available ... and custom matching too. Take a look at the website's Gallery and Color Charts sections some time and you'll see what I mean.

Nice How much?

I cleaned and polished mine and might just leave mine polished for a minute... They look cool....


Should look nice on top of my Chrysler Orange 273 Block with a 600 Holley on top, in a Silver Engine Compartment, in a Turquoise Car. My car does not have a dark personality at all. White Interior... She's a purdy lady


I would like to put everything back to stock at one point so I'll keep Pheonix in mind, cause Dang! Them puppies look swheeete

Nice! Who's Leanna? lmao

She and Billy at Phoenix Specialty Coatings did my intake and adapter.
Billy went through my Holley 390 and fixed me up with an adapter
I was going to have the air horn breather coated but they saved me some cash and peed pasted and polished it. Thay are the best

Your valve covers look nize toolman
