The car, as we all know by now, is the ice-blue metallic 73 AAR cuda clone with a 426 wedge. I need some interesting ideas for AAR oval air cleaner lid for Carlisle.
I thought of having the cuda-fish cartoon with 426 wedge behind it or a real barracuda airbrushed. This will be the final touch so pleease throw out any good ideas. Thanks

This may not be the response your looking for, but I don't like the idea of putting graphics of that sort on these very special cars. :2cents:

Since your car is mildly custom anyway, How about painting the cleaner the same color as your car and then ghosting in a few swimming cudas, that barely there look,  but when it is noticed it is that much more impressive. :)

What about having some ghost Cudas swimming/coming out of a Ghost image of your carb set up.
Like see through or ripping/peeling away.....barb wire is also cool.

Or just put a nice Blue Mopar "M" decal on the lid blue and blue.


Eh, just throwing some ideas out.  :thumbsup: :icon16:
