Heater duct backdate fabrication project

Here was a fun project for the day.

I converted an early left side heater duct to use on a Carrera motor with it's larger distributor.

The pictures are pretty self explanatory.

Cut duct, Trace manila folder paper. Cut manila folder. Check fit. Transfer manila folder cut out onto metal and trace. Cut metal. Shape and then weld. Throw on some semi-gloss black.

Dooh!!

Thanks Bill. I just PM'd Wayne asking him to move it for me.

I'm still finding uses for that scrap rocker panel you gave me. It was fun little 3 hour project. Of course Joe George would have done it in 1 hour.

Great work Bobby.

I did the same this weekend to clear a twin-plug dizzy.
