How did you choose your valve covers
I've seen so many different valve covers on cobras, some say ford or cobra or shelby or le mans, some are polished , some are black crinkle, and i see alot of home fabricated ones, how did you choose your look and why.

When I bought the car it had the covers below.

Nice looking covers. :MECOOL:
|
Went with the ones I liked.

Same as above. I tried several different types and since my Cobra was not even close to original looking I went with the ones that I thought looked best on the engine and I like the best.

When Ford intoduced the 5.0L GT-40 SVO long block for purchase, in the 90's, they came with the simple grey covers. It was a 302ci 285 HP little beast. Brand new cost $2595. Stick with the smooth look. Different

cool pics and posts, thanks, it can be a hard decision

When I was redoing mine a few years ago I settled on the theme of an early competition type. I was unable to find any of this type that were commercially available, so I made several sets and sold them to fellow SB Cobra lovers on the website.[IMG]http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/P8090244.JPG[/IMG]

Wife bought them for me. :)

Wanted an authentic 1964 competition car look so used the FIA valve covers provided by ERA, coated ceramic silver:
