valance and hood air intakes
Fabed up some air intakes for the valance and hood. Just used some sheet steel from the construction dumpster. The nose also shows the removed 5 mph bumperettes and license surround. The hood fresh air intake has a lip over the radiator frame, a tunnel formed by the hood spear and a sheet of steel and a fence around the air cleaner. Mill is a 355, RV cam, fuelie heads, msd ignition, headers and side pipes and a 750 Holly.

Yeah, it's the original. I cut out the offending urethane and replaced it with like from a Mustang (ha ha ha!) backed up seams with mesh, plastic welds and 2x2" squares of urethane set with "superglue". Filled in the joints with Permetex rubber bumper repair. When i get it back off I'll shoot some pics of inside et al. I had to trim the backing honeycomb rubber and dump the bumper with metal backing plate to make it fit.

Please do. I've been wanting to do something similar, and I was planning on ditching my cover for a fiberglass version to make it happen. If I can follow in your footsteps I can save a couple of hundred.
