I checked with Fran Hall about a month ago he didn't have anymore and because of the weak dollar they were getting very pricey Bob

One of the sponsers of this forum may be able to make them.
www.keithcraft.com Go to the products section. They offer valve covers with what ever you want on them. I have not contacted them but was concidering it when I get to that part of my build.

Let us know what they say.

Re: Where do you get Gurney Weslake valve covers?

From Keith Craft
FYI

We could ingrave this on a set of plain polished aluminum valve covers like
the ones we use to do our valve covers. You then can paint the ingraving any
color you wanted. If we could do this in quanity it would help. The first
set might run about 300.00 to do because of set up time and art work. I
would need you send over some sort of logo or the way you want it written.
If we did several sets like 10 we could get it down to about 200.00 a set.
