Heo, I have a nice polished pair that I would part with. They are currently on the 390 in my '70 F350, but I had planned on putting my spare set of CJ covers on it. Blair had them polished when I bought the engine off of him. They do look nice. I'd hate to bust up the pair though, so if you only want 1, maybe somebody else has a single? If not, PM me and we'll work something out. I'll take a picture of them and send it to you.

Doug: I've got multiple sets of the Cal Customs (Just counted and 8 sets).  I might be interested in your polished pair and could send one of mine to Heo.
Would you e-mail me a picture of yours as well?

sent you a PM I can seperate a set and send you a nice one for just the cost of shipping ~ $95 US to Sweden. I didn't realize I had so many sets.
Actually 2 more sets on cars ????? go figure!

This is the style of Cal Custom I've got. This is a set I blasted, not the one you will receive but clean and no scrapes.

Sorry I didn't get back on this sooner, been a really busy and somewhat crazy last couple of weeks.
The pair I have don't have the fins that wrap around the ends. They stop just at the end and have smooth sides. They also have a second aluminum pad on the tops where a breather hole could be machined in, but aren't. Maybe mine aren't Cal Customs? I know many variations of the same basic style have been made over the years by different companies.

Richard, I'll send you a picture of the ones I have since I can't post them anymore till I get a new picture host.

I'll send you a PM with my E-mail to send the photos.
Yours sound like the AFX/Penny's/ many other generic ones.

I would like to see the pictures.
