| Nice project you've got going. Did you have any difficulty fitting the air cleaner on your wagon? | |

| air cleaner was easy i got two spacers from pepboys and the air filter from there . the old valve covers were rusted bad and the air cleaner was ulgy so i put those on and i still have to remove the rest of the emissions crap the exhaust was bad so i had it redone with true dauls no cats ar resantors . i put glass packs on for now till i can get flowmasters . the led stip was easy to install i wired it into the headlight switch , well its bright but doesnt effect my driving at night the cops love it i still have more to go on the wagon but its just tacking time . i want to lower it in the frount i have a cowl hood for it just havent had time to install it . if u guys wanna here it running i have a you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rLRVQ-9dSMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg483Lfzf4Iim also on facebook ther are alot of pics that show from the time i bought it till now https://facebook.com/9c1freak follow me there ps sorry i cant spell that good | |

| Nice, the red light instrument cluster looks cool. Did you black out the center of the facotry grille or is that aftermarket? So what are your plans for paint? Looking good! | |

| Nice work in progress! I like the round air cleaner a lot more than the black plastic box GM used from the factory.
Please keep up updated as the work comes along!

| Thanks Lugnutz for making me feel old.I remember when some of your "old school modifications" were new and just becoming popular for I believe the first time.Get that body rust taken care of asap before it gets any worse and then begin making it a wagon you can be proud to drive and show.Great pics! Thanks Jim |

OK, I was curious to compare notes. You must have a drop base air cleaner if it req'd spacers. The Jeg's air cleaner on mine is a standard base and I had to slightly 'massage' the firewall for clearance. | |
