Re: My 1959 apache project
OMG, I love your valve covers! What's just beneath your valve covers? looks like spacers?
and the air cleaner is neat also! I have a cheap looking chrome air cleaner~ the little devil on my shoulder is messing with me!

Re: My 1959 apache project
Without boring down into the build to find a pics of the heads looks like adaptors for later center stud heads to use old style valve covers to fool the uninformed (LT1, no way look at the valve covers...). I looked at those covers for mine but price put me off. Now if Gary would adopt me.....

Re: My 1959 apache project
You just gave me a really good chuckle Orrie! Now just how much do those covers go for? Does the madness ever stop!
