Question New Blue Thunder Valve Covers?

I am still on the search for some quality valve covers for my 427 SO. A Blue Thunder dealer told me he had seen some "prototype"
competition aluminum covers that closely mimic the shape of the "pentroof covers" covers. Apparently Blue Thunder is also having trouble making anything with the COBRA name on it for fear of lawsuits. The "prototype" covers were for a 460 engine but FE versions are planned.
Does anyone have a phone number for Blue Thunder so I can get the true story?
I like the idea of a "quality" cover versus the poorly chromed Taiwanese junk I have seen.

Thanks-Dandy Don

I'm pretty sure Tony Branda also sold the aluminum pentroofs. I remember seenig them on his site. Check it out they looked really nice. G.

The Blue Thunder aluminum pent roofs have been available for years.
I've had a few sets. They can be hard to find at times.
Try all the large Blue Thunder dealers.

DSC motorsports and Carls Ford Parts are both BT dealers. I've found Dennis at DSC to have better prices than Carl. G.
