Thanks. It was my idea of the ultimate car from that era.

What air cleaner assembly are you using. Was looking at one of the clear cover R2C's but it would be high maintenance. http://www.r2cperformance.com/clear-oval--air-cleaner-base-and-lid.aspx

i started out modifying one of these https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g287/overview/ by adding material to stretch it but the aluminum used isn't very clean to weld so I had a new top plate made out of good aluminum and used the stretched bottom plate. As for the element I spliced two together. A lot of work but way less than 2g's for a repop original.

Also there is very limited room under the scoop.

Beautiful car! I'm wondering if it runs cool with that big engine and small radiator? Did you fab a shroud, or use pusher fans?

OK...the blue intake makes me think this may have come from Sox & Martin... True?

No, a friends was blue liked the contrast. Bought the manifold in and carbs 1971/72 for the outrageous price of $175.

Thanks Frustration. It does stay cool and while its 22", its also a custom Desert Cooler 4 row brass and copper deal by US Radiator. It sits in front of a MP 5 blade fan with a Hayden clutch drive. And... a small pusher fan for that NY traffic and a 95 plus degree day.

And a factory style shroud.

I saw a car that looked IDENTICAL to this one at Mopars at the Marina at Cruisin the Coast about 5 years ago.
BEAUTIFUL!!

 

[biomedtechguy]

Yes. Color matched the seats perfectly ( I did get samples before I ordered). Fit is nice and tight between the buckets. Arm rest is in perfect position.
This is who I got mine from, https://bluethunderautomotive.com/

I fixed the link for you!
I got my custom bench-to-bucket seat conversion manual transmission console from them.
GREAT people to work with, GREAT product!
