Art & Inspiration Custom air cleaner cover

Never seen this, replace that rusty after market air cleaner lid with an old school hubcap

 

pretty cool

 

I did that on my 64 Pontiac years ago with an old flipper cap. Something different and fun.

 

looks like a rat rod treatment.

 

What about the crankcase breather tube vent cap ?

 

While at it use one of these as a oil filler cap.

 

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus.

 

Wanted to cover the shiney carburetor, choke, fuel inlet, etc. so I made a enclosed unit with screen air inlet.

 

I'll disagree with that one. Dented up and doesn't fit the element, retainer ring in place. On a stock engine. ''Rat rod starter kit''. Possibly find a hub cap/element that fit each other. The original would look better, or a tasteful vintage aftermarket unit. Just my opinion.

 

That's a good one!

 

Used a '39 Ford Deluxe hubcap.

 

ive seen a '57 chevy with a custom hubcap similar to that, it was cool because it had a big spinner cap for a wingnut

 

There's just no way I'd ever use a beat up ugly old hubcap, and ever open my hood! It may be different, but different isn't always good.
