Ok, why did you trim the lip by where it meets the carb flange? I need to do this mod on mine but I have been hesitant to just cut on a $600 air cleaner base..

Well I have shrinkers/stretchers for 2 different models, that hand one is a lot harder to use than one with a foot pedal. The foot pedal one allows for 2 hands, and if you are on a stool, you don't loose too much balance.
It looks like you are really getting a handle on it.
Do your carbs have vacuum secondaries or are they double pumpers? Keep up the good work. Tim

I also need to always have a project to work on, especially during this time of year. So, just thought you guys might be interested. I hear you on that...plus no excuse to rush making things during the winter and you can take your time to make it right. Looking forward to the finished product.

Leave an edge on the base that is 1/4-3/8, then roll it up, you will get a good lap weld. Even if you only leave the straight sides, it gives you some sort of edge to weld to. Tim

Well, with the front done, all that remains is to match the radius's in the rear, and hit the overall length. A cardboard template does the trick!

It looks awesome, if you are good with a torch, you may want to try silver brazing. Its low heat and is 60k psi tensile strength. I am not a fan of mig for real precise work. What are you going to use for a seal to the hood? I have some rubber product that is 3" wide and come is a roll that you could fasten...or look for a P seal http://www.brownaircraft.com/product-p/t-6400.htmTim
