Any one using Jeff Johnson's billet fab valve covers?

Not knocking his valve covers, he is calling his bent and welded covers billet, I notice it a lot lately from different companies. Do people not realize that's not what billet means, didn't this used to be called fabricated? Is it just a fancy word to throw around to get more buyers, like tactical?

Yeah I think Jeff's stuff is a sheet metal valve cover with a billet rail although I'm not even sure I'd call the rail billet. It is probably laser cut bar stock. I did true billet valve covers for a while but they are super expensive to make. The vendor who I was talking to about production builds went out of business so that killed the deal. If you have a Chevy engine you can buy billet valve covers from Summit but nobody that I'm aware of makes them for Mopar engines. I do have the CAD files to make them but I don't think the market is big enough to justify the investment.
