Plate to seal air cleaner to hood. What have you made?
I used an air cleaner base from a 1969 Camaro SS. I think it had the L88 hood. I cut the bottom of it and used an old coffee can where it goes onto the carburetor. I said "old" coffee can because they were really thick not like the new ones and fit the carburetor inlet perfect. I just figured the height I needed fit the parts together and brazed them. I then bead blasted the base and painted it with rustoleum truck bed coating. Someday day I will make a nicer hood pad but that will be a winter project. The way I cut the hood the rain water goes through the back of the scoop and never get into the engine. I have been caught in some heavy downpours and have never has a problem with water getting into the engine.
