to this...



On your second image. That looks like the Kuhn cold air setup with the filters out front in the cooler air. I need to do that because of the front mounted supercharger. I was going to route the same as yours but dump into the S/C inlet. I was told that filter setup would not fit my 83 because the radiator was too tall and the plastic parts would not fit between it and the hood. Can I get some details on how you worked it out. Did I get bad info on the filter setup?

Ok here it is......I am pretty happy with it. If anyone is at SITM, drop by and take a look in person, it is even better in the daylight. You will notice the emblem is tilted, I have not glued it in these pics yet but wanted to show how the emblem brought the color scheme together. The plastic intake parts are painted with a spray called Carbon Mist and then coated with a clear top coat. I will FINALLY start my personal car pics thread with more pictures soon. But I thought this fitting to put my final product out here. But please feel free to keep posting your works of Arachnid art!

Michael, that's awesome...can't wait to see it at SITM.

I bought the one Carl was selling...have not quite decided what to do with it...might leave it in the box until I pull the engine for a refresh and paint the body, currently projected for 2019....if I can get (1) kid out of high school, and the other out of college, and get my lift by then...geez...

Thanks Ron, I will look for you at SITM then. I am lucky, my mech (whom I work with and I also bought the car from originally) has the garage, tools and engine lift. It was kind of part of the sale, I will buy it if you work on it....so that has been a big help in saving on tools etc that I might use one time....
Kids???? Been there done that, you do not need to say any more Ha
