Got some fresh air today

i always liked the look of the missing headlight. Bought some stone guards and painted them black, moved the low beams to the inside. Should keep the small critters out.

Looks like you bought yourself a birthday present!!!!

looks COOL Models and thanx for posting that part# i have a sheet of that material in aluminum, but this way looks better.

kinda looks like a 63 Galaxie, that was my 1st impression, so don't get too upset.

I always thought the headlight went in the outside and the air inlet went inside, did it that way to a Plymouth I had many moons ago.

 

[walkerheaders]

because of the core support, the open area has to be at the outside. on a 62, removing the headlight trim lets in tons of air but looks like crap. plenty of old racecars did it that way. so Models did it the best looking way .

I looked at some old pics

The 62 chevys ran the air duct on the outside. Fords and Chrysler prod. used the inside. Just a matter of availabel space.

Looks great. Another BIG thank you for that part number. Seems like a simple thing, but I've asked about those for years ..... even work in parts....and all I ever got was : "IDK you'll probably have to make them outta screen."

How about on 61 Chevys ?????? Outside location also??

You are not alone liking that look for this car.

I thought I'd kept a few pictures of the "Offy plumbing" but I can't find them right now. You've got the 2X4's. Offy used to make the hoses with top-mounted carb adapters to finish an "air-induction" system for this. The 1962 chevy RAM-AIR!!

VERY NICE!

Cool air for cool car.

Nice look models Are you planning on hooking some ducting up to your carbs? I might have a couple photos laying around of a home made set up I used to run at the drags if your interested. The cold air induction idea is a good one and works extremely well. bang

I've looked all over for the Offy covers. If you find a set, please let me know.
