i think dayco makes blue rad hose...but its universal..so its like rad flex hose..so it looks kinda ribbed...just find a supplier that sells dayco hoses and belts near where you live

or i think you can buy loom..whether or not they make it big enough to cover rad hoses i'm not entirerly sure...

as well as the same companies that make the hose cover stuff that looks stainless...they also have it in red and blue..and i think thats mr gasket

here you go, it will cost you up front but you wont have to worrie about them going bad on you for a loooong time.
http://www.coolflex.com/cfm/welcome.cfm

we had actually talked to them at one time about a group buy for our club. and they were willign to do so but we coudl not get enough of a intrest in them . for the most part out club has low budget cars in it there are a few that are more show then go.

But honestly they have these and aslo a version called python and they are slick looking also.
im sure ther eare more out there. but i havent foudn no more then the two mentioned here.

Would love to find diffrent companies so if any of you know of any let me knwo Please.

I still want a set of them for all my hoses

Does anyone make good looking valve covers for my L-67? Chrome or black wrinkle finish would be preferred.
Has anyone customized / painted their S/C shroud? I did my shroud on my '01 in gloss black trimmed in red, with a SS emblem added to it.

Damn man, that's a hell of a trip. I'd suggest a healthy serving of alcohol to help calm your nerves
