There are many reason for joining the club. Not everyone is a DIY person. Some have completely stock cars and prefer to have it that way. You get what you want out of the club.

You can still add OEM parts, etc.

It's just my opinion, nevermind then.

lol nice k ill probably start doing it need some money on the side. and yea painting your valve cover is a lot of work and time consuming. i sanded all the crap off a valve cover by hand a couple weeks ago and it took like 3 hours. alright thanks for the help guys ill probably have ads up soon. most will be sohc engines, cant find many dohcs except for the older ls motor.
