hopefully the new ones are up to the task - I have seen some fabricated valve covers for 3-400 bucks - these were only $125

Cool, let me know. I can tear something off or find a piece to cut from underneath. Not expecting perfect match. Even if I did Legendary, new material would not be a match for old back seat (which is in good shape and I am currently planning to leave as-is) I'm sure whatever she can do would be great.

The fabricated ones look pretty sharp. You have the engine out? Thought I saw a pic somewhere?

It opens alot of doors, boat cushions etc
I definitely would I would love to say I did EVERYTHING on my car. But need a serious machine to do the vinyl and heavy fabric. I guess worst case would be leather. I can run a needle and thread through something and hold it together but don't have the experience to make it look like much. Kinda like my welding
Only ran a sew machine a few times...

Same here, darning my socks is about as far as I can get
My welding is pretty good though.

they do make taller valve covers for the small block - but I think you have to specifically order them - I am unconcerned with the ones I just ordered
