Give Dan at DLS a call. He might have some laying around or know where to get them.

Hogans makes sheet matal ones as well. Dan at DLS was contacted by myself and he told me that he did make them in sheet metal.

Tom at Champion Racing makes a nice set and can be custom ordered with engraving but apparently they are on back order due to cores that have not arrived yet.

These sheet metal valve covers are pretty, but they are not a direct bolt up. It requires some tweaking to get them to work. The side that bolts to the head needs to be clearanced, as the push rods come in contact with them. If you have AC you need the one that has a notch in it to clear the heater box. Once they are worked, they are mint. Here is the link to get a set.

Dam you! That setup looks super sweet! I might have to bite the bullet and order a set from Hogans. Those just really improve the overall look of the engine bay. Sweet oil pan. That's hot!
