Commando Valve Covers

[65 Dartman]

Just got my Commando Valve Covers back from Leanna at PSC. She did an absolutely fantastic job on them - all I can say is WOW! They look way too nice to put on a car. Something's wrong with my camera so no pictures - maybe if Leanna took any she could post them. As others have said and I'll echo, she comes very highly recommended for all your powder coating work (and in the case of my valve covers wrinkle finish powder coating).

65 Dartman Don, thank you for the compliments! I know you were concerned about a factory looking appearance on them (they're pretty rare if I'm not mistaken), so if you're happy, then so am I.

I did take some before and after pictures for my website, so here they are. It was overcast and rainy the day of the 'after' pictures so they're a bit dark.

The powder is called "Wetstone Black," and is the same as was used on RumbleFish360's Mopar Performance air cleaner mentioned earlier in the week. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=43660&referrerid=641

Thanks again for your business, for the confidence you've displayed in my abilities, and for allowing PSC to help you out with your restoration. When you get them installed, please send me a follow up photo for my display case.

Those covers really came out nice, you do nice work! One question...anybody know of a source for the little clip together inserts that hold the wires in the looms? I wondered if Elgin/Napa has these or one of the resto suppliers?
Any help appreciated.
