I won this 2bbl air cleaner on E-Bay for $5...!



it was pretty rusty, but not too pitted-
I hit it with a few wire brush drill attachments,
gave it a couple of coats of Dupli-Color Semi-gloss Black
500 deg. Engine paint, and added a few decals...



with the weather in the single digits, I've been limited to indoor
bench work!

Thanks, and good luck with your mods-
I've been picking up all the parts I'll need a lil' bit
at a time:



I also, picked up a '71 Factory Shop Manual on CD for $30,
and have been selectively printing the /6 specific pages and
compiling into a binder...

The last missing link that I'm still putting together is the front disc
brake setup- and waiting on the spring thaw!

After much debate over which route to go-
(SSB, Wilwood, boneyard scavenging etc.)
I finally went with the Scarebird adaptor kit...
these allow you to keep the SBP, original UCA's etc...
(However, they do use Chevy rotors / calipers etc. which I know
is pure blasphemy for some!)
I'm very happy with them, they make an incredible difference



I also found a nice set of 14" SBP Rallye rims up near Hatford, CT
(a mere 260 ml. roundtrip for me)



This project started out 11 mos. ago as a B'day Gift for my daughter,
with a promise to be finished for her 17th this August...

It's gonna be tuff handing this beauty over, I've grown quite attached to her!

two more pics;

"before": the way I received her last July...



"after": her current status:



thanks again to all the members of this site who have shared a wealth of info... The search feature / archives on this site, coupled with my trusty FSM
(thanks SSD) have made this resto a real pleasure...

That's a sweet car and an awesome present for a 17 year old girl. You've done a nce job with it.
