Projects WTF ... Need one of these Air Cleaners

Gold Chainer version of the traditional rat rod cow skull breather.

 

Give me a brake....ha ha ha!!!!

 

Ive seen this in person on this car and here is my take: I like it on that guys car, but I would hate it on mine. -----know what Im saying here?

 

Original Yes--- just like a "Detriot" News paper box..... for an aircleaner

 

It reminds me of the OCC geeks.....the only thought was "how can I get this on the car" not thinking of what would look good.

 

So what is that, traditional billet?

Different doesn't always mean it looks good.

 

looks like everything is tidy & NICE on that car!
i give it a thumbs up.
--- by the looks of everything else done i respect the guys work & ideas.

i wonder if it is one of those repop covers? they are lighter.

 

It's a HEMI. I'm sorry, but there are just some things you have to be careful with, when it comes to trying to be original. Guys got a really clean engine, but that air cleaner doesn't work on it. I mean, DAMN, it's a freakin' HEMI for God's sake.

Kinda makes me think of the guys who painted huge American flags on their cars for the bi-centennial and not so long ago, 9-11. Yea, I dig you're a patriot, but come on.

 

never seen one like that before, but i like it. looks good on that hemi

 

And the 4th drum was turned into one of those goofy ass clocks that grandpa has hangin in the garage >>>>.

 

That bitch aint billit and it isn't one of those worn out dual snorkle jobs or some factory repo with dicked up stickers. May have been milled but it looks great from my house...........

 

It would really rock if it had neon in it ...

holy heavy aircleaner lid batman
i hope he doesnt have the little 1/4-20 carb stud still
tk

 

I like it. It's thinking outside the box.

 

Have seen similar made out of old finned torque converters ( least I think thats what they were )

 

I'm thinking they should have been thinking how to get it into a box. The fact that it's original thinking and using a part in an atypical place doesn't make it a good idea. It's too gawky and it adds a sence of too much "weight" to the top of the motor.

On the other hand, all data is helpful-now I know one more thing I don't want as a n aircleaner cover.

 

the drums are already way to high.... I don't like it, I find it silly...

 

Great restraint Larry.

 

looks better than a mailbox on it.. give the guy a brake

 

I actually kinda like the overall style, and it definitely doesn't look like billet. The problem is...I KNOW what it is, and I can't get that out of my mind when I look at it. If I could, I might like it, but as it is...

 

Nice one!! LMFAO >>>>.

 

it takes focus away from the little details... the throttle linkage... the solid upper radiator hose... fuel filter...

...alternator...

 

It helps stop dirt from entering the carb..

Last time i saw a drum that was worn thru like that it was thrown out .. Now thats.... Green thinking?

 

I can't decide if I like it or not! But I can appreciate the work that went into it...

 

Not outside the box...outside the drum...and it help lower the front end another 1/4".

It really is clever, just wish there was a way to make it look less like what it is.

O shit...I just realized it has IMPERIAL valve covers...making the air cleaner the CROWNING TOUCH.

 

With that said it needs some JEWELS on it!! LOL >>>>.

 

I think i will take my two 57 Vette aircleaners off and try to fit two of those on my car...LOL

 

Maybe what I should have said is: a guy in a dress is different, too. That doesn't necessarily make it good.


FWIW, I really doubt they wore through the drum, those things have an iron liner inside and to wear that far youd pop the pins out of the end of the wheel cylinder and have a major brake failure. But once you took the hub and liner out of the thing it really wouldn't be that heavy, either.

 

I kinda dig it. I won't be doing it on my projects, but what the hey? Not everyone has to have the same tastes. I personally think it would have worked better on a nailhead, but I give it a solid 8 for creativity. It's still better than velocity stacks.

 

I like it, sure its silly, but its not my car and its not like a guy in a dress.. so different in a good way I think.
