| | Here's the valve cover design sent by Gary. It's drawn to approximate scale and would likely look good with or without fins. As Gary mentions, it has seven scallops instead of eight so that the emblem can be suitably centered. The design is generic enough in nature that it could be right at home on cars or trucks.

| Looks good! I think the emblem should be shrunk a little to avoid distorting the top of the 8 and the bottom of the Y. That is, if the valve covers will be curved in those areas.

| | Ted/Gary Not bad! You guys can thrash this out for a week or so, I have to haul a trailer to South Dakota to a Reservation. Leaving Thursday morn. Still like the two piece thing, but how about this, flat on top?

| | Thanks, Charlie. The top and bottom edges of the valve cover would be curved under the top of the 8 and the bottom of the emblem, but the 8 and emblem would lie flat above the curved edges. LordMrFord, how in the world did you make 3D prototypes so quickly? |

Easy. Just take page number two and look Marc's attachment.
Then you know.

| | Note to Frank, 7 scallops are each 1 1/2 inch wide, 1/8 inch wide gap between, total scallop area width 14 1/4 inches. 3 1/2 inch tall emblem, if true, would have 1 5/8 wide bottom. I narrowed 3 1/2 inch tall emblem bottom to 1 1/2 inch wide to fit center scallop. |
