Well, the paint is dry, now all we need to do is cut away some of the rad support to be able to fit this

In place of the passenger side headlight.
As far as we can tell this should fit into the rules for both SCCA and Grassroots Motorsports.
I started by disassembling the passenger headlight and cutting away the back section for the HB and Fog. Then I used styrofoam to carve the mold for the funnel to be fiberglassed. This was my first fiberglass work, although that is fairly obvious if you notice the roughness.
Once I was finished with the Fiberglass work, I cut away most of the front lens and replaced it with a 1/2" wire screen. Then some chrome paint for the funnel and black paint for the outside...
From the funnel there is a 4" aluminum tube shooting straight across (where the AC Dryer and ABS used to be) into a new 4" hole cut into the front of the stock airbox.
