Cool SC rocker covers, where to find?

Just noticed the clean, simple rocker covers on the SC in the July '14 Panorama (page 85). I love them! Anyone seen those? Know where to get them?

I could be wrong- but they look like stock ones cut down without the black rubber strip.

by the way- got to see that car in the Salt Lake City parade- very cool and well built car- the owner was very nice as well- super excited to see it in the latest mag

not to take away from the OP- but here is another set I came across a while back that really cleaned up the car.

Thanks Rdrr. I'd thought about doing bumper extentions to get rid of the concertina rubber, so it's nice to see it already done.

No worries. I've often thought about it too. I've seen this car in person and I think it looks really good.

I considered that, but after comparing the contours of the ends by the wheel openings, I don't think that is the case. I'm hoping they aren't a one-off of some kind.

Just got off the phone with the owner, Albert.
The rocker covers are custom but based on original covers.
He had a shop in his hometown of Mt. Top, PA make them.
The shop is no longer in business, so he jokingly said it couldn't have been too difficult to fabricate.

If any of you would like additional info from Albert, PM me and I will give you his cell #.
He said he would be happy to talk.

Albert, nor his car, have been to Salt Lake City.
At least not knowingly!
Pictures are probably from Keystone, CO.

Drat! Not what I was hoping to hear. I'd really like to clean up the lower sides of the car, but I'm to too hot on visible oil and A/C lines. Not attractive to me. Those covers looked like a good possibility.
