Steve, I like the way you made your upper rad hose. If you don't mind, what parts did you use? How did you get the elbows done?

Secondly (edit), what coupler did you use at the end of the tb elbow going into the maf?

I hate to yank your chain but your car is one of the nicest I have seen to date. Really well done. I wasn't that impressed until I saw it in person.

Rock chips don't show up well in pics.. thank god.. besides, I'm having deflector shields added. They're powered by my new flux capacitor.. Ok, it will just be Xpel, spray guard and blue tape...

It's the same NAPA hose I used for my '69 but it was a bit long so I cut a chunk out of the middle and made a barbed pipe to join them (with more Gates thermo-couplers). The upper hose part number is 8301 and the lower hose's number is 9038.

The 90-degree elbow on the intake is a cast aluminum piece from Street and Performance. They also modified the MAF with a billet ring that holds to the elbow with three set screws. This way I only needed a rubber coupling hose on one side. I think they will even make with the set-screw deal on both sides if you ask. The rest is made from 4-inch exhaust pipe (a straight piece and a 45).

Thanks, It's really easy to make it all nice and sexy in photos.. hell, you should see some of the cars we shoot.

It's a big compliment that you liked it in person. I'm just a guy with some tools and a vision, but without a very talented group of people to work with the car wouldn't have been built.. twice. lol

Gonna snap some more tomorrow for Scott.. he requested a bunch of shots for some sort of "Skunkworks" deal he's working on.
