I like your air pan.nice job.at least someone gets to work on his car.instead of everyone elses junk
 
No, not "just" because it's a Scamp-#1 because Tim's a cool guy, but a close second is because it's a Scamp :)
 
Went and cut the inlet out on the pan. Had to trim some overhanging sheet metal, above the pan. Green Scotch Brite ,2 casts of etch,3 coats of flat black. That part's done,time to smooth the surface out. Throw some LimeLight/Sublime on it.....

Nice work! I'll be starting on my air pan soon, think I'm going with the cake pan style.
 
Have you figured out how much clearance you'll have between the the plate under the air cleaner and the underside hood plate? - And are you going to further modify with tin work to fill the gap or are you thinking foam?

Being my frugal self,foam. The fully encapsulated box,would be fun.Traditional installation & mock up,then measure. Off the cuff, 2 inch should work. Only time & experience, will tell.

It'd be cool to get something similar to what Chrysler used to seal the air grabbers to their air cleaners.

I know.... I'll check it out.Have to go study,what they used. You're correct, on the effects of rubber over foam here.
 
Nice work Tim! Man I'm just getting caught back up...

The engine bay itself looks great, and I'm definitely gonna try and keep up with the hood fab/air filter sealing.

Keep up the good work for us guys that can only dream. :thumleft:
 
I would take the p off all your emblems so you could have a scam.....
 
I picked the best hood ,out of 3. Of course, it was the crusty one. Been Rust Mort-ing,prime ring,and smoothing for 2 weeks now. Getting closer,being on a budget,sure burns time....

Being on a budget is a way of life. When I have a couple of extra bucks, I spend them on the car before my family can think of how they need it worse than I do!

Do what you can afford. Little by little, it'll get done.

Thanks,was just checking out,your mufflers... Damn.....
 
I had a choice: A quart of PCL high fill primer,or time and blocking & rattle cans. I don't like high fill polyester resin primer on high temp engine compartments. Its fair,not great... Progress.....

Kewl, like to see the progress :glasses7:

I was thinking of sealing my air cleaner to the hood but I still don't have a hood scoop so I guess it pulls cool air the way it is :D

What you have ,works.
 
I used a cutting wheel on a air tool, hard to cut a round hole with a straight disc but take your time and comes out good. I used black door edge guard from the local parts store to cover up the edge. I centered the hole around the air cleaner, not the center of the hood. Remember, the engine is offset in most or all mopars.....but if a scoop is installed, then the scoop is centered on the hood :glasses7:
