I have been thinking about my Roadrunner lately and I have decided on making a change. I am changing the induction system from a single 4 barrel carb and manifold to a 6 barrel induction system. With a careful removal of the 4 barrel intake, carb and air cleaner, I smoothed out the engine top, and painted the 6 barrel carbs, intake manifold and air cleaner. Now for some assembly.

More Roadrunner to come...

Thanks Joe! Been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks and today I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I need to paint-detail the air cleaner, apply the decal and put the body back on. This should take me a couple of months! LOL

I messed up the air cleaner paint and so I repainted it. The decal I will be using and a closeup of the engine compartment. More Roadrunner to come...

And, the hood even closes completely, too!

I have expected the hood would be pushed up by the air cleaner, but it did lie flat!

thats good to know, but i am doing something stupid. i have a few of those air cleaners and am cutting them apart to make individual pieces. hopefully the hood will close ok. more test fitting.
