If the weather cooperates next week I'll get it shot give it a few days and put the Oscar Mike's on. Still waiting to hear from my vinyl guy about the Flying tiger mouth and custom lettering. Then I'll start the real butchery with the fenders and bumpers. I'll probably have under $500 in mods including paint. Now the dually wheels and tires will cost 5x everything else combined!!!

Any thoughts on a Ram Air hood scoop?
 
I've finished the toilet flange induction hood setup. Looks like it will work perfectly. Once I add a forward facing scoop it will ram air into the intake. My 74 Dodge Dart with 2 predators had 8+lbs at the manifold at 100+ mph.

I wonder if anybody here knows what an Olive Drab, Oscar Mike, or Flying Tiger is...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah really. I just ordered this to top off my ram induction setup. I'll probably have under $500 in mods until I get into wheels and tires!

Wow !!
No way does the toilet drain flange look to be 3 inch I.D. What size is it ?

It is identical to the diameter of the rubber boots to the fender and air box. I found some foam weatherstrip to seal between them. Got the scoop ordered and paint for the car. Hopefully the weather will cooperate next week so I can shoot the car.

There are different sizes of toilet flanges. I recently replaced one of my toilets at home. Here is the extra flange I bought in case I needed it. It is just a standard residential flange. I.D. is 3.5 inches.

You need to clean the junk out of the crevices.

Yeah it'll be getting the leaf blower and pressure washer out this week before I sand and paint. One of the best things about military theme vehicles is they look good dirty. My vehicles are lucky if they get washed twice a year. I wouldn't want to wear the paint off.
