    I started an air cleaner for a Ford 2 barrel carb, from a die-cast "heat-master" heater housing... made the base... used a porcelyn commode cover to fill the hole the deflector had been in...
    try and dig it up for a pic tomorrow...

    I like fins an so that's fairly cool really to me. I'd like it even better if polished to high shine=would get away from looking to some like just a brake drum.

    That much weight is going to warp your carburetor

    If you could get to spin while the engine was running . We could call it an early prototype turbo. That would get peoples head scratching..

    I can't tell if I'm looking at an engine or an R2D2 prototype.

    I can appreciate the work that went into making such a detailed piece but I wouldn't use it on my car. HRP

    I bet that weighs quite a bit!

    I second the comment about making it into a clock. Or a lamp or something, haha! You can turn just about anything into a clock or a lamp :D

    What next? a spinner hubcap for an air cleaner lid!

    The only thing wrong with the 1st example is the machined circles near the centre.
