Arthur1947 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Took everyone's suggestions into consderation. I found a top piece for the air cleaner at Lowes. It took me about a half hour but it fits perfect and its chromed. No drilling required. I think this works much better than my last attempt. Just have to make another one and polish the bottom portion. Best. ARTHUR Quote
Brendan D25 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Arthur, that looks pretty good now. Is it necessary to have it that high? Brendan. Quote
Guest bizzycoupe Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 That looks real good to me, nice job. Quote
Young Ed Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 I agree-much improved over the last version. My only thought if it were mine would be to try and hide the orange part of the filter. The little one in your picture has a lip so all you see is the white filter element. That's just me though.... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Arthur, you will just have to change these filters a little more often since they are on display. How would a little shorter one look? You're getting there. Quote
Arthur1947 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 If I can find filters not as tall I will replace them. As for now I can live with this. I buffed out the stainless bases and riveted them to a mount. I'm happy with the final product. Once I get the front clip on I'm sure they won't appear as big as they look in the picture. Best.

BobT-47P15 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Arthur......its your car, your show.....do it how you want. At least you've used imagination and a little craftsmanship to invent these things. You're probably right, with fenders, hood, etc in place they won't seem as large. And nobody else will have the same thing as you. Quote

It took me about five hours to make and polish them. What would be a reasonable price? Anyone? Best. ARTHUR Quote
Reg Evans Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Glad to hear that you would consider making another set. Maybe the second set will go a little quicker than the first. Just let me know what you think they would cost. You can PM me if ya want. Thanks, Reg Quote
Brendan D25 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I agree with the others, I think they look good. Quote

Reg Evans Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 No problem Reg. Thank you and have fun.Best. ARTHUR Arthur, I found some shorter filter elements at NAPA. 3" tall instead of the 5"ers. I think the proportion will be better. As soon as they come in I'll give you the part number. Reg Havin Fun:D Quote
Reg Evans Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 Whatcha think of the shorter elements? 3" tall rather than 5" Quote
Guest 50Plymouth Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 I really like them with the 3" Sharp, good proportioning! Quote
Arthur1947 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Posted July 15, 2007 Nice Reg. I'll have to put those on mine. Best. ARTHUR Quote
