    Don't have pictures, but remember that Art Malone ran a newspaper box on his Hilborn from some paper named "Press" -- for those of us who had never seen rural newspaper boxes, we thought that Malone had a sponsor named "Press,"...I think Connie Swingle drove for some guy from Louisiana who had a "Times-Picayune" box for a blower scoop...

    How about ones covering long runner log manifolds on old g***ers ? Home made 6 carb log with long square tube runners.

    G***ERGL*** also a HAMB MEMBER who makes all those vintage Surfer Style Scoops also makes Fibergl*** MAIL BOX scoops with the carb holes already molded in. Single carb and dual carb scoops. Neat Item.

    I ran one for years, they never seemed to stay on very long, Id go through 2 or 3 a year. I was too poor to buy a real scoop in those days.

    Minus the exaughst... the curb feelers... the silly mailbox, the trim holes, AND the chevy bird, nice corvette. I would drive it for sure with all of the fore mentioned things done to it. And it wouldn't hurt to put a hood with a bigger cowl on it too. Just saying.
