Re: Build #2 Crusader!

Iv had this extra air filter kicking around the shop and decide i take a little break from putting wiring and and window installation so I Spent a little time making a dual snorkel air filter.



Drilled out the spot welds and removed the inlet from the doner



made a template and marked the housing for the air inlet



cut out the opening



blasted both pieces to remove old paint so I could spot welded them together




I removed the flap & the pre-heater inlet from the bottom of the doner inlet tube which left a hole.
Then I blasted the whole thing getting ready for some fresh paint.




I painted it a semigloss black and made a plate to cover the hole. I used a piece of aluminum and some nice allen head bolts. I figured it would look nice with some sorta emblem or something there. I did find a old Fuel injection emblem and I just stuck it on to see what it looks like. Im thinking a nice 5.7L emblem would look cool









now to get the rest of the engine to look that good
