    I am wondering if anyone knows who makes/sells radius rod teardrop covers like I see on old style hot rods/sprint cars. I know Eastwood used to make these but I don't think he does anymore. I am not familiar with how the rod ball attaches to the teardrop which is two pieces. Here are a couple of photos of the double nickel car which Pete built the ch***is for. Any leads/information would be appreciated.

    I may see Pete at the Throttlers on Sunday. Anyone else have any knowledge about these covers? Thanks.

    So-Cal Speed Shop has some small SS blisters that would possibly work. I believe they are like 51/2" long by 3" or so wide. Look in their new catalog.

    I've made something similar
    Cut a piece of exhaust tube on a sausage slice, then tigged a flat plate to it for mounting.
    If that makes any sense to ya.
