Doesn't have to be aluminum; I made mine from some thin plywood (3/16" or 1/4") and it worked fine. In fact, the insulating effect of the wood made it easy to feel on the hood exactly where the plate was underneath --> much cooler to the touch.

Bob, back when I had a six pack hood on the cuda, I made an air pan for it that was VERY similar to yours. It was worth a solid tenth and a little over 1 mph in the 1/4. That carb spacer is on the way.  CHIP

No more 1/2 track nationals 
Soon Rick soon! How's the sinus's? Tammy punch you in the nose again?? 
I'm ready for the 1/4 if my converter will lock up, I don't like racing for 6 seconds. 1/2 track Nationals.

Looks great! Can you share the dimensions you came up with for the pan? How thick of aluminum did you use?
Ummmm, I don't know, and I don't know. Hope this helps you.
