Little things today. made the filter adapter for the driver's side and got everything paints. Then passenger sir side My son had started the duct so I got the 2 pieces he made fitting glued together and started reshaping a bit. Then I thought I would start adding the duct openings to the air box but got distracted when I remembered I never finished the inside....the OEM casting is curved so I welded in a 1/2 plate to have plenty of meet but never trimmed it do so that was todays work. I took about a 1/4" out in the middle on the mill (making it a proper race part I believe) then sanded it to look decent. So tomorrow I'll add the dust openings.

Today I added a flange to the lower 1/2 of the air box to align the 2 halves and sort of seal it.



Then made and installed flanges to mount the duct, cut the openings in and started the clean up work, still another hour or 2 for grinding and sanding but its starting to look like something useful

I like it, it will look great.

Tbh I was struggling to visualize how the whole air intake thing was going to come together, until that very last picture!

It can be hard to know what's in some else's mind
I'm trying to get this finished before a new to-do list is ready... not sure I'll make it

Found this one:

Funny....here its as much about the time, if I have time to go to the shop then I have to x, y, z, aa, bb....its usually a long list


Duct 2 is about ready to put some paint on to seal the foam and du the final smooth so this project should finally be about finished this weekend
