I'm in Atlanta , but I am still looking at one other possibility . I will
know more in the next couple of days .
What I am looking at is a guy at ARE that can make a custom set of covers
with whatever we want on them , but there would be a minimum order of at
least 20 and the price would be around $2500-3000 bones for the whole order .
Now it wouldn't be a big deal if everyone wanted them to have "Dakota R/T"
in them , but obviously , not everyone would .
If you break it down , it would come out to about $125-$150 per set , which
really isn't that much more expensive than good quality covers now .
He told me that I could get the most popular design on all of them , and
for those that wanted different , they would CNC engrave what you wanted in
place of the most ppular design which would be letters cast into the cover .
What does everyone here think about custom made valve covers for the Magnum
V8 that would only be available through the DML or the Dakota Registry ?
If there is enough interest , and the logistics/nit-picky stuff could be
worked out , maybe we can take it seriously .
I dunno , maybe it's just a pipe-dream ....wait a minute , the R/T was at
one time too !
