'30 closed cab A-Bone .

So I just recently picked up a fairly traditional looking hot rod. I will be making some changes, mostly cosmetic, paint, upholstery etc... I want to make the car look more period correct. I understand that it will never be period perfect as it has disc brakes, 4-link rear and a 351 Cleveland. but I'd be happy with period resembling? or period close? I'll be posting pics as soon as i figure out how but my main concern is with the Clevo. I have always loved these motors but I am trying to figure out how to make it look more period. I am thinking maybe a 50's Cad air cleaner but what the hell do i do with those funky looking valve covers? any body know of finned aluminums available? Or even better any way to adapt thunderbird or y block covers? Oh yes and thanks in advance for refraining from posting comments like " It's never gonna look preiod at all with the clevo, discs and 4 link." I am aware of this true fact but i am unwilling to change it.

Thanks.

 

just drive it and enjoy it,,don't worry about the small stuff.HRP

 

put a hood on it... look forward to seeing pictures

 

Love those Clevelands! I wonder if the covers on my 351 heads will work? I will look into it.

 

Let's see some pics of it with the Cleveland in it. Also the ****** and rear end. This sounds like an interesting A bone.

 

Lousy pic but I'll get some better ones up on monday. 352 Cleveland, c-4 and currie 9 "
