I know patricks was selling them but i would like to get in touch with the person who was producing them. Does anybody know who this guy is?

That said, Patrick's will take your $$$'s for a Wayne set, but you will be waiting a very long time, possibly for nothing. I myself waited almost 2 years before I finally pulled the plug on that.
I did get a full refund from Patricks though!

I wanted to get in touch with the person who was making them to see if the tooling was avalible for purchase and or what it will take to make a new production run. do you remember the name on the HAMB?

By the way, my apologies for missing the 'Chevsofthe40's' signature on your original post, now I know what you're trying to accomplish. Thanks!

So he needs to say "Hi" a couple times and his probation will be lifted.

I hope SIXXPACK is able get some more Wayne sets cast someday.
As for myself, I'm not interested in shiny chrome, but wanted something other than a painted valve cover for the hopped-up 235 in my '46. So what I did was buy a chrome steel cover set and sanded the chrome with a 120 grit sanding sponge, then perfected the finish with a brown ScotchBrite pad to make it match the stainless steel air cleaners I have. It looks great and added an antique look to it until I can find a cast aluminum cover for a reasonable price.
