Thanks man. I've learned even more since making this video. The process of learning and refining is never ending. The last set I just made were even nicer. I'm loving this process. You should see the scissor hinges that I designed and I'm now selling. They're epic and I'm super proud of the product. I'll get the video up soon
I outsource my CNC parts. I don't have room yet for the equipment or material storage. Luckily I found a really good shop locally that's friendly to hot rodders.
Got a line on a complete 53 Merc w/flathead gonna junk it orsell it runs but im b not a Ford guy but it's different ill run a 302 just cruise turn into tail dragger
I use an aluminum adapter to mount the SBC valve covers to the LS engines. I have a source for batch ordering valve covers. I order them in batches as orders come in.
You're saying you've seen guys doing this before? That's cool. I haven't seen it done before. I appreciate you watching the video. Any tips or advice for someone that's just starting this?
@badomanclassics ya know, probably the best vid on this is actually the TV show bitchin rides..... They took a set of LS iirrvalve covers, milled the center out and 3D printed a Cadillac script which they then bonded to the covers.... No welding.
I've had my brother suggest I try glueing them on as well. 3D printing is also another cool idea, but would require investment in a tool I can't afford at the moment. I do see the potential in that method though. For now I'm going to keep working with what I've got. I just had a fella from Finland order a set of Trans Am covers for his 454. So it's pretty cool to have this opportunity. Thanks for the advice eh!
dude that is bad ass . and for any haters in the comments let them make something better then comment
Thanks brother! I appreciate the support
Could probably tap the jig and save yourself a little time getting them off and on. You have a nice setup.

Great job, worth the price
Thank you! I've built myself two sets for my projects and I'm very happy with the uniqueness they create. I hope others will feel the same.
Nice work Haters are going to hate But the rest know good work Keep on Rocking the brown disk are 50 or 60 The Crazy Old Man In The Yucatan 😎
Thanks!
Interesting process and cool result. Why not TIG weld the letters on for better heat control?
I had trouble getting a good weld with Tig in a 1/8 hole
Nice work!!!! BUT you only get 1 set of eyes, wear those glasses my friend 😬🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have a habit of misplacing my safety glasses! I do usually wear them though. Thanks for watching and caring haha
Just subbed! Can you do a video on your cnc plasma table? I’ve been wanting to get one and have been heavy into fusion 360

That sounds pretty badass. I'm not a "Ford" guy myself, but I sure do love Ford hot rods. Up until the mid 60's anyway.
What ya bought a bunch a value covers or a lot of them?? Just raw so you can chrome or plate um or paint um what bout LS motors ???

Very cool! Keep it coming
You know I will. Thanks for buying a set!
Whatever you are selling them for is not enough!
Thanks man, I think I'm going to raise the price to $1 million haha. Then I can hot rod forever!
Or MERCURY
Cadillac
That's a good idea actually. If you'd like a set let me know. I'll get started on a design😎
Well, ok, it's nice but being in SoCal myself, it's kinda dime a dozen to what most guys are doing out of their garages for their own personal rides.
