Thanks for the welcome. I am a long time Moparts thug, and I thought I'd wander over here to meet some new friends. :2thumbs:

I'm also the guy in the back of MCG making the fiberglass custom oval air cleaners. 4bbl 6 Pack look alike AAR, A12, etc... Stage V and MP dual quad... plus single 4bbl bases good for anything from a stock 318 to a not stock Hemi.

Here's a pic of my engine bay before I redid everything. That's the original base I made that started this whole thing (fits single 4bbl Holley). If you can believe it, I had to repaint that motor again after this! Had some build problems and it was burning oil, so it went back to the builder... of course chipping it all to hell. It is painted with the correct orange and cleared. Very shiny, but the paint requires extra care when wrenching. I'm gonna try and not wrench on it anymore. I also painted the radiator black after that and it looks better than what you see here.

Cool. I love seeing my air cleaner parts on other peoples rides. :cheers:

The entire car was color changed. The engine bay is not orange anymore. In fact, the entire body really received another restoration. It was completely reworked. The fiberglass hood had the bow taken out of it and it was extended a half inch or so to close the header panel gap some. All panels were reworked and panel fit is now excellent. I can't wait to get her back together. Taking forever. It sucks being a perfectionist. Nothing is ever good enough and what I settle for takes twice as long as "almost worth settling for". But results are results...
