Building a 572 hemi challenger using aftermarket k member and mounts I found the engine sitting a little higher in the car than I want. Maybe it is a combination of that and the stage V intake. Anyways there is a company that makes the air cleaner top and bottom for 1200 bucks.
That's alot of cash for something I am not sure will clear the hood so I decided to build my own.
I started with 24x24 sheet of 5052 .063 aluminum. I dished it around the carbs with the english wheel till I got the clearance I needed,then used the planishing hammer to finish. I then used a shrinker on the edges for strength and to make it look reasonably close to stock.
It's not finished but turned out pretty nice for a one piece deal with no welding.
