Canada Group: Registered Users Posts: 61	Hi Jack We love the original 55' 56' Packard 2x4 air cleaner and wanted one that was are own. Its made of aluminum, I made an upper and lower plenum and welded them together. The air cleaner baskets or what ever you want to call them are made of steel with 8" K&N filters. The center plate and Lincoln emblem we had made using C&C machining. Posted on: 2014/11/7 13:16

Given the current prices of Caribbean/Eldorado/Chev 2x4 air cleaners, you could go into production. FWIW, the open element K&N allow quite a lot of intake roar to come back into the cabin. If driven like a hot rod, it will sound like one. Depends if the owner wants a quiet ride or a roarty ride. jack vines Posted on: 2014/11/8 9:40

Do you have a project blog on this vehicle also? may I ask your intention for extending the belt molding? Posted on: 2014/12/6 22:03

Was't sure I should put in the projects blog. The belt molding will be lengthen on the door and shortened on the quarter and there is a molding that extends onto the truck lid.
