HPI Customs 1970 Chevelle "Roadwarrior"

I saw yours too, I was half way into this one when I came across it. Looking good BTW!

Matt, Split which way, parallel to ground? Didnt want to put a shorter air cleaner element in, as it is a drop base and would contact the top of the carbs choke airhorn if it was shorter. We wanted it to look like some sort of nasty weapon like piece, and match the copes in the valve covers. I am not a huge fan of the fabricated valve cover, so this is what I came up with!?

It will look different once coated, with the firewall flange machined out of aluminum. It is something different, I could not bring myself to put a round air cleaner on the car.

Thanks for the compliments

I'm not running anything special my self. but just what jumps out at me are the depth of the copes. but definitely nice work for sure.

Thats cool, I was just wondering if you had an idea to make it better! Hope you can pull some sort of insperation from it.
