Do any of you gearheads know of someone that can restore a set of Oldsmobile embossed valve covers?They have quite a few dings and dents and are baffeled covers so I don't know how it's to be done. I don't want to spend a lot of cash on them,but I'll pay resonable price.I can e-mail pics if needed.  oldmanolds

I would think metal work or fill dents with lead and work from there?

May have to remove the baffles for repair and then tack weld back on?

There is some stuff called Lab Metal that you can use to fill the holes.  Eastwood carries it.

I just noticed a set went for $111.00 on ebay.That seems like a lot of cash to me. Going to look at my Eastwood catalog right now. oldmanolds
