    Aluminum Valve Cover Reskining/Restoration

    Has anyone used Chuck Smith in Valley Center Ca for this service? He advertises in the driveline every month.
    Thanks

    I used Chuck Smith, for my 1970 L-46 aluminum valve covers. I'm happy with their service, I can't speak for the valve covers when it comes to judging.

        Jeff,

        Do you want to use Chuck because you can drive the covers there? Otherwise, I'll echo Joe's recommendation of John DeGregory.

                Second, or third, or ...you get the idea. John DeGregory is the man.

                    John DeGregory did mine. I'm very happy with them.

                      If John is doing these again, I would like to hop in line. My last conversation with him is that he (his helper) is too busy to work on valve covers.

                      John - what say you?

                        Bill,

                        John D. did mine about 6 or 7 years ago and I think the cost was around $100, plus shipping.

                          I have been using Jerry MacNeish for years to reskin valve covers and alum intakes. http://z28camaro.com/wp/restoration-services/

                          They look amazing when done and typically takes 3 weeks.

                            I think many of us would appreciate what the cost would be today (2014) to have this service performed on either a set of valve covers or an intake manifold-perhaps rough estimate? Jack J. (34474)

                              John DeGregory does not promote his services on this forum per the TDB rules. I would suggest you either call him or email him via the TDB. You can go to the tool bar,, look for community, members, and follow the instructions
