If you notice in some of the last posts the car had/has a chrome heater box. The heater box is really sentimental to the owner as he remembers when his Mom took the car apart to have it chromed so he wanted to keep it in the car. He did realize that it clashed with everything under the hood as the chrome just wasn't fitting in very well. Also, on top of that, he doesn't even want a heater (I'm not sure why). So I came up with this aluminum cover that most people would probably think is the actual heater box. I also made it a little long to cover where the hoses would have hooked up to give the firewall a cleaner look.





We also pulled the procharger and all of the brackets off to clean up a lot of the plumbing and wiring. We also had to repair the idler and adjuster that wasn't installed correctly.



The owner had bought some big Moroso breathers and they looked a little tacky, so I put them in the lathe and turned them down a bit and gave the tops the same look as the hardware we machined for places under the hood. I also machined the large piece in the picture to cover the filter on the breather canister. Now I just have to route all of this huge hose somewhere that looks half decent.
