Okay, here's the scoop...

[Fat Hack]

Did a little metal working today and whipped up this sorta Nicson styled carb scoop for a GM 1v carb. Not sure if I'm going to leave the bright aluminum finish as it is now or dull it some with a brushed technique...time will tell!

Just need to buy a small round filter and come up with a cool wingnut to keep it from blowing away!

More super low buck (about two dollars worth of metal!) speed parts for the V6 powered 49!

(Thanks go to Rocky for the mock-up carb, by the way!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif)

Another angle...

[Rocket Scientist Chris]

Very nice! I think an acorn style chrome nut would look really cool and keep the overall sleekness intact. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Oh, is that birthday cake for us! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Tinbender]

You are my hero Hack!

[flatheadpete]

[Spooky]

[flatheadpete]

Man, I hope that's store bought cake. Otherwisw, it'll be no good come August...

[RileyRacing]

Another cool idea from 'Hacks garage... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This car should be happier now that you own it, at least it'll get alot of attention... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Boy, that sucker looks real close to a Nicson, good job!

[Machinos]

I saw a wingnut once that made me think it'd look pretty cool if you cut one of the "wings" off, filed the other wing into an actual wing-like shape (like the Harley logo or something), then positioned it forward-backwards on the top of the air cleaner.

an illustration of what I'm trying to describe http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Mai Ki-Ki]

Gorgerous! I'll take 2..do you deliver? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The machinos idea is awesome or maybe just a Large punk Rocket Stud?

Cheers

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Yeah Hack, If you wanna go for that whole Prussian/Punk Rock thing lemme know, I have all different sizes of spikes from doing the leather work! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Donzie]

One of these would look cool but you wouldn't believe how long it took me to get 'em. At this point I wouldn't even part with one. I'm hoping they end up holding on the air cleaners on a tri-power.

I agree. My friend has a CNC lathe and once the first one was made and the program stored he could make as many as you wanted. Let me know if you need more.

[KCsledz]

Hack its looking good! I like the "WING" nut idea from Machinos!

Oh, it wasn't the time to make them, it was the "shipping" that took so long. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
