Not factory, but these are my preferred colors

She's detailed exquisitely Jim.

Are those the air cleaner(s) you finally decided on?

Yes, I plan on using them when ever I get around to swapping the engines. I am still going to give another go at getting the tri-power to work correctly. I am changing to an edelbrock intake, a truck version of the ECG-6 carb for the center carb that will have the air horn turned down to match the tops of the 2 end carbs, which will be 8BA carbs. this way I can still use the air cleaners that are currently on the car. may have to change them , if they end up being to restrictive. If I can not get it sorted out by the end of the summer, the 2x4 engine goes in next winter. that will make a huge difference between the current 272, as it is a bored and stroked 292, now a 313. Thanks for your interest.---Jim
