    I'm new on here, been lurking, and though I would share the air cleaner tops and carb adapters I made for my '30 model A. I had two 500cfm carbs on my stock 350 and it was too much for it, so I made an adapter so I could run two mid to late 70's 2 barrel gm carbs. Then I made some tops to look like 30s ford hubcaps. I haven't been able to try out this set up other than starting it up. There is 8 inches of snow on the ground now.

    Thanks for the compliments! I'm a mold maker full time making vacuum form molds for the horticulture and medical fields. I have my own small shop with a small lathe and a bridgeport boss 3 axis cnc that I took all the old electronics out and retro fitted new updated parts. I'm currenently building a new aluminum center grill section and center hood trim for my dad's 38 Pontiac coupe.
    Also, as Weird A spotted, I'm in to vintage snowmobiles.
    Thanks Matt

    Beautiful work. Now you'll have to make me a set and promise not to make any more! All kidding aside, by now one of the billitizers have seen them and they'll be all the rage this spring with matching breather caps and dipstick handles. At least you have the gennies! Love'em and the dual carb setup.
