Looking good. I sent you a pm, I can weld it all up, if you aren't set on the rivets.
I am pretty close too.

Here is the intake cover/box installed on the car, Im still fabricating a bracket to hold it down in place. Looks promising. I will give it a good polish once its all done.

Thank you Sir!!

Wrap that badboy in DEI CoolWrap or even better, the gold stuff! Looking good though, man!

Here is the finished product. I used rivets as you can see in the pictures, I think it turned out ok I just need to polish alot more. Now on to the bottom duct, I have already started!

And here is the bottom duct.

I like it!

What did you use to polish it?

Thanks, its not polished yet. I just used sand paper 400,800, 1000 and 2000 grit. I still need polish compounds.

Have you ever considered using 3m casting tape? You can make your template like the piece you have, or out of foam, wrap it a few layers, then use acetone to disolve the foam. Or cut it off the form, glue it together, then add a couple more layers of casting tape and resin the result.

Can be sanded and painted, and it's pretty dirt cheap.

Uuhm! No not really. I was looking for something like that but could not find anything. I will look in to it. Thank you.

Hey guys its been a while but here is what I ended up doing with the bottom intake.

very cool, and interesting. have always wondered if this would be worth the effort

I think so. I haven’t done any before and after intake temps but others have and have shown significant lower intake temps. I mean if you think about it, fresh air is coming in and hot air from the engine bay is being isolated. I would like to do some pulls with and with out to log differences. Thank you for the compliment.
