parts 64 Air intake

No real issues here with the paper parts I used. I did replace the tube from the filter to the intake manifold with aluminum wire.

Parts 65 Hood sides

This is where a big issue resides. The bottom pieces of shroud do not have a large enough cutout to provide proper clearance for the front fenders. Careful surgery to increase this clearance is required on each shroud.

I decided to forgo the hood side covers themselves as was common for warm weather months to provide additional engine cooling.

Parts 66 Hood

It appears that the assembly on the actual machine may have been bolted in place. The fit was OK in general.

The top hood vents are supposed to be "moveable" but to get all the hinge parts and such to work well takes an inhuman amount of effort for such little benefit, so they are glued in an open position.

Parts 67 Firewall

One of the parts that wrap over the top edge of the firewall is too short requiring a cut in the middle to get each end in the proper place. Also I have absolutely no idea where piece 67W goes...

Next up is mounting additional stuff onto the firewall. Once that is done and painted accordingly I can move on.
