Valve covers refurbed

An eBay purchase.  I think $30 bucks or so, shipped.  They're for an early Bronco, like a few other bits I'm using, and they've got a few features I wanted and/or needed: cool stamping, a PCV valve hole, and a spot for an oil breather cap.  The ones I got with the project were missing all three of these features.
I like this stamping.
Scrubbed clean.
Once clean, a few flaws (not unexpected) were revealed.
The bronze braising will be a pain to try to weld, so I'm going to go after it from the other side.
Primed.
Had to go with Ford gold.  I'm sure someone somewhere is disappointed that my valve covers don't match the air cleaner housing, but whatever.
