I finished the passinger side cold air intake. I couldn't find a tool to cut the hole and put a flare on it, so I used a hole saw and a small cresent wrench to gently work in the flare. It took about 5 trips around the perimeter of the hole, but I'm happy with the results.

Paint it!

No time like the present. Scrub it down good with with a scotchbright pad and wipe down with clean lint free cloth and appropriate reducer/thinner, wipe again with tack cloth and paint. You will thank yourself later! IMHO

I just finished reading your thread. You have done a great job so far. I know when you repaint it will look great.

I like the custom flare work! You've got me thinking about a cold-air intake for the truck. Your's looks great!

I had back surgery last thursday and won't be able to do much, but I had an idea. This may be the pain killers at work .... so I'll get your thoughts. I was thinking of fabbing a subtle, nascar-ish rear wing in stainless or aluminum. I did a quick and dirty mock-up in poster board.

I like it too...go for it. Take care of your back!

X4 I like the spoiler idea. And be extremely careful with your back. I had back surgery 20 years ago and ruptured the same disc recently.

Not bad at all. I say go for it. I've got a trans am wing for mine. Those look pretty good if you can get over putting a GM part on your Mopar.

I had one of those t/a wings on the 440 mirada years ago. They do look and fit good, but want to maybe try somthing different. The bigger fiero wing works also but may be too big for my taste.
