An old childhood friend have a 65 Impala stationwagon.
That he after much
trouble mange to get a 468 built and dynoed. 600something horses dont remember
He have a tunnel ram so he needed a hole in the hood. The only hood he could find in
Sweden was a new repro hood. He left the hood to some "expert" that managed to more or less destroy it.
it would not even fit the car after that and the hole for the carbs was to small
;
So i prommised to help him, he stoped by today so i cut away the junk that was welded to the hood and
straighted it up and got i to fit in the hole and close atleast, some further adjustments needed.
I cut the hole for the carbs about the needed size
Tomorrow im going to make a ridge around the hole, I "split" the center ridge to 3/4 of the widht and make the inner side 90 deg down
around the hole and make a "shield" to put between carbs and airfilter that reach outside that ridge that he could put on when its raining
