I have to rebuild the front end install steering column, wiring and get it running the owner want to keep the body as is.

Nice work, JML55. Have a look at what this fellow did to make his LS look like a Nailhead. Might look cool in your 39. Just sayin'

Nice contast with the red on green, I also agree the 8 with the black looks better.

I like the red.

**oldman3** · 03-31-2013, 10:15 AM

Emblems look great against the green, I like them both, so I'm no help....Jim

Kim57 · 03-31-2013, 10:48 AM

Kim

Rude Dude · 03-31-2013, 12:49 PM

How hard was it to make your air filter box? I get making a cardboard template, but how did you do the metal work? Is it aluminum? Any pics of the inside? What intake pipe is that? Would like to do similar on mine. Thanks.

Its been a while now since i build that air box, I tried to make the sides all in one piece so i get a better seal unit. Its made out of stainless (i had kiking around ) I 'll get you a couple of pics from the inside in the next couple days. The pipe is part of a cold air induction kit for that engine i bought of ebay and then modifided it to fit.
