Dual Snorkel cold air setup

I was going to send pics to another member but figured I would just post my setup for anyone interested in a cold air scoop setup.
Parts used:

3"x16" round cake pan (ordered off the web)
1/2" drop base Edelbrock 14" diameter
4"x14" Summit air filter
Summit Racing SUM-239144 Summit Racing® Reusable Air Filter Elements | Summit Racing
14" top filter
Summit Racing SUM-239500 Summit Racing® Powerlid Air Filter Assembly Tops | Summit Racing
Leftover post car window channel seal for my rear side windows.

Hood hole is 15 3/8" diameter (traced the outer edge of a 14" ralley trim ring). Hole is offset to passenger side to match carb center. After cutting, 10/32" screws were added to stiffen the underhood braces.
Scoop is aftermarket AAR fiberglass and on centerline of hood.
Top of filter is approximately 1/2" above original hood.
Cake pan has two small holes drilled to allow water drain. I live in Florida and have driven in the rain with no issues.
I run a Professional Products airgap, demon 650dp, and 1" 4 hole phenolic spacer for a height reference.
Hood to radiator seal is installed, 3 core OEM radiator, electric fan with 180* switch and gutted thermostat (restrictor disc). I have no cooling or fuel perculation/hot start issues.

Since this thread is back up I'll update a change I made.
I added an additional 1" spacer and needed to change the seal around the cake pan to get the hood to close. Instead of reusing the rubber seal I installed 3" foam glued on the pan with weatherstrip adhesive. The seal to the hood was so good the crankcase was getting pressurized at high speed and pushing oil up the distributor shaft making a mess. I removed the hose from the valve cover vent and left it open. No more oil flooding the distributor and proof that a sealed hood is shoving air into the motor at speed.
