Art & Inspiration 4-Banger Valve Cover Picture Thread

I looked to see if there was a thread already and didn't come up with any. How about a thread for Ford Model A/ B valve covers? Doesn't matter if it's a modified stock one, or a super rare one. Post what ya got!

To start things off, I found this one whilst surfing the web: a Thomas Model B valve cover!

one I ran on a B in my 32 pickup

 

That is wicked cool! Have any photos of the engine? We have a Gemsa frame underneath our Model T race car!

 

My Riley!

 

That's beautiful!! I'm searching for a Curly Wells valve cover, it sure is rare!

 

This is the best picture I have of it. It was a B block with a counterbalanced crank with Joe Gemsa fabed rods.It ran Gemsa head and a vertex mzg.

 

Thank you!

 

I'm a bit partial to these being Aussie made is a bonus too

Ooooh! What other rare banger parts do you have?!

 

Pete is a standup guy. He sponsored a build of ours with one of his intakes.

 

Here’s a 1 off... err well, obviously I made 2

 

Thank you for gracing this thread with your art!!
Do you have any advice for a 24 year old getting into parts manufacturing?

 

Intake is Stromberg-Bendix sold through Ford dealers in 1931

 

I started in the car restoration world bout 14, and started producing Buffalo wheel parts bout your age. Like an enthusiastic sponge, I asked for and considered everyone’s input. By about 30, I stopped listening! You might notice that when I show a project now, it’s already well refined or dun!

Make stuff you’re interested in... you’ll enjoy the project more, and if you get stuck with the extras... you’ll be ok with it! Even if you do it wrong, it’s all good experience, and the next project will benefit from lessons learned. I still get flack from CNC naysayers, but can’t hear em anymore

 

My ANSEN side cover has the name ANSEN cast in upsidedown.

 

Here's the one I want (a couple of) -

 

Frontenac, What hot rodding looked like in 1925.

 

^^^^^^^^
Mercury is lookin good Mike! Lotsa cool stuff goin on under there!

 

Thanks Kevin.

 

Cover for Christie head, early Model A head made in San Francisco.

 

Not valuable but certainly rare.
A homemade, one off cover made from steel plate. On my gennie Sprint car engine.
Check the pressure relief valve and all the brazing on the high volume oil pan.

 

A few that I have.

 

I love this one. I owned one, but sold it like an idiot.

I've got a friend overseas with one of these side covers. Are you familiar with why it's like that, like a casting accident?

I've got one of these covers with a set of rockers. Are they rare?

That is wicked cool! Any more info on it?

I am jealous! I've got a GEMSA frame underneath my racecar.

Are you familiar with the history of Iandola at all? I'm clueless
