Valve cover replicas

[aguirola]

I have been making these for quite awhile. Extremely great quality.
Would anybody be interest in a 3.0 or 3.5 replicas ?

Made in 2 layer fibreglass, fantastic , ready to hang on your favourite wall.
Some samples...

I would love opinions, and yay or nay.

M49 valve cover replicas would be amazing.

I would require an original, and....many commitments

Your Ferrari and Alfa (?) covers are beautiful! I think the problem doing the same with M30 type covers is that they made them for many years in relatively big numbers and they are still thick on the ground. I bought this cover for display for $10, added some labor and a rattle can of crinkle black and hung it on the garage wall.

I think it would be tough for you to compete with the actual cover option.

Despite the admiration for M30 I really prefer Sxx engines covers but in such case repros might be the only option due to the cost.

For me original, used cover is something I prefer to have on the wall as some kind of car-art

I fully agree, but availability is an issue with originals.
The Ferrari covers we produced are unbtainium, so buyers had no issue,
and they look 99% the same as originals.

Dick, thank you for the kind compliments!
you are absolutely right, BMW and Alfa are all over, maybe not as good a price you got.
Alas, the 250Gt cover, I bought, do not have one. Neither the Testa Rossa. The Dino, yes. Still finishing the resto...
I made a few unusual Alfa, no demand for these either. Lancia tried that too, belly flop, along with Lotus twink.

I cheated and bought an E3 cover.

True for Ferrari or other super cars.

Probably also valid for M1/M3/M5/M6's and Alpina's as these are also rare and expensive.

Still nice job making such nice pieces of Auto Art. Well done!

I have a Hartge, in my H5S, might that be interesting?
Probably not much demand on it either...
