  3. Gonna paint it black.
    Thinking about adding a chrome top. the circular bead at the top is 12 inches. A 12 inch chrome lid might look cool
     
  4. Has a T -Bird look to me. Good work!

    No uglier than those Stage "27" Buick air cleaners with the dual snorkels that are fed from the hood louvers. At least you're trying something different on that Caddy engine. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

    Ugly, I think not. Get some paint on it and it will look great. As mentioned, the HEI is killing it for me.

  16. All black this time. Almost went Detroit green
    This is a mule. Gets the crap driven out of it. The black makes easy touch up.

  17. I picked up a 68 472. Thought it was a points distributor. It’s electronic but not a pertronix or similar conversion.
    May install it after I get it all going.

    Has a SUPERHERO-ish look to it.
    Maybe cut a pair of openings in the front? With some chrome screen?

    A little cleaning up with some finer grit soft pads and that thing will shine like a diamond in a goat's ass. It needs chrome;)

    Now it's coming to me.......it's a George Barris thing! The top looks like a sub-woofer speaker. Paint it matte black with little yellow lightning bolts radiating from the center 'dust cover', like a blaring speaker animation. That would be hip :)

  24. We probably want have time to body work and paint it by Wednesday.
    So we’ll probably just sand it as slick as we can for now.
     
  25. I think A+ for creativity and inspiration. I agree needs some chrome screen on the intakes.

    Might visit the hardware stores tomorrow
