 As I mentioned in the Boom Stick
post, I wanted to further isolate the air intake from the hot underhood
air with an enclosure of some sort. After spending some time looking
for inspiration under the hoods of modern muscle cars with aftermarket
cold air intake systems, I figured I could build something similar
myself.
As with any fabrication project, I started with a template. In this
case, I cut up some boxboard and taped it together in different
configurations before I settled on one that I liked. I then transferred
that boxboard template to a craft paper template, mocked up the latter
as a sort of dry run to figure out where to make cuts and the
step-by-step process, then transferred the craft paper template to
aluminum. As for how the air would come into the airbox, I initially
thought I'd just use the air that slipped around the side of the
radiator - there's several openings in that area that would permit
airflow - but for the sake of a less convoluted airbox design, I went
with another option.
