Modified my intake cover

I wanted a little different look for my intake cover. I got my hands on a second cover so that I could delete the cutouts for the harness since I made my harness to exit in the rear. I also shaved the front emblem and 2 of the bars on top. I plastic welded everything using a $15 Amazon soldering iron.

Re: Modified my intake cover

They are Edelbrock covers with the emblems shaved

I had to modify them a decent amount to fit around the accessories, but most of it is hidden.

Re: Modified my intake cover

What did you use for filler on the cover to smooth out the plastic welds and where the emblem was removed?

Re: Modified my intake cover

Nice work on the covers, On a different subject what intake tube kit did you use I am running into space issues on the GMC I'm building and you have what looks like what I need.

Thanks Mark...

It's just a $50 kit from eBay. I bought one for a 99+ Silverado 1500. It's a spectra wannabe kit, but it works

I used glazing putty and got it close and the I put on several coats of high build primer and wet sanded with 400 grit before painting.
