Troy - Did that chrome cap you reference differ from the TIM&JG in the same ways as mine? Photos are above in thread.

Re: 54 Valve Cover Cap

While you have the cover off please look at the underside of your door and see if the weatherstrip was put on as one piece or three. Sometime in 54 and all of 55 they did it in three pieces. The bottom flat piece was put on before the door was hung and painted. Thus that piece of weatherstrip has body color overspray on it.

Both doors have one-piece weatherstrip.

Re: 54 Valve Cover Cap

The only chrome cap I have photos of looks quite different from the painted cap. Your's looks quite similar to the painted one. The photos I have remind me of a chrome cap off of a newer Corvette. But I'll look again tomorrow to confirm.
