    Nice, Ken!

    Care to share details on your air cleaner setup? Did you just pattern it after a GTO ram air?

    Awesome car. Also interested in the air cleaner set up. I think I know how I will do it but curious as to how Ken did. As you can tell I'm looking into an air cleaner set up like that.

    : forgot to tell you that on top of the 24" round plate goes a KN stubstack.it will hold round plate on place and not to depend upon KN filter to hold round plate down tight. sorry I forgot. Ken

    can that hood scoop be purchased somewhere online or is that your own fabrication? was wanting to do one like this as we are now ready to do the second round of primer. approx 2 wks from paint. have decided to go with C-10, GM white was originally on the 76 corvette stingray. may to the GSX stripping on hood but really want a scoop. unfortunately will have to persuade the wife. this will be her's when finished.

    would like to see the underside of hood. a lot of time has been spent on the skylark hood and son-in-law may not appreciate my desire to cut into that slick piece of steel. wonder if you had to move or alter the bracing. has an almost natural scoop section but probably would not allow the K&N filter setup. thanks

    Nice job, Kenny. Not sure it was worth selling the trains for, tho.

    That looks great! It's near and dear to my heart as its very close in styling to mine.
