    Ordered seat covers from Legendary Interiors. After talking with them they informed me they can do custom work also. I had them take the 64 Dart GT design and make it into a A-100 cover. Very HappySeat Covers  20161111

    Scored some valve covers and a early unsilenced air cleaner for the early small top carter carb . Once I get the air cleaner chromed it will look a Hi Po 273.  Very Happy Seat Covers  20161113

    once you put the higher intake on and a higher carb you only have maybe
    2 inches left for the air cleaner. i don't see that one working,
    look at your height before the chrome

    It clears but barely with the hood rod and the clip that holds the rod removed. I ,ll come up with a way top move it to the side or just have a hood prop laying inSeat Covers  20161114

    Maybe you could mount a prop rod inside the doghouse on a pivot and a clip, then swing it up to hold the lid when needed. Prevents tripping over it or kicking it out.

    Oh, I see. I didn't know that Dodges have an actual "prop rod". I wrongly assumed that you had a locking arm like my Ford. My bad! That will look great in the engine bay! Are you concerned about blocking the airflow that much?

    The air cleaner is a early unsilenced one. It is open 360 ,so it should be ok.

    They where $460.00 + $225.00 for the custom work to take the GT design and make it into a A-100 pattern.
