Stromberg Carb air cleaners, velocity stacks

[mike felix]

Does anyone make or any kit have really good Stromberg carb air cleaners or velocity stacks?

[Tommy Kortman]

Mike,

Detail master makes a nice set of machined aluminum ones. P/N DM-3221. Also Replica and Miniatures Co. of Md. makes a nice set of resin scoops.

As for velocity stacks, why not just use a peice of the appropriate size aluminum tubing? just make a slash cut at one end, and then trim it to the length you want. If your doing an old school rod, (sorry, but I dont like the term rat rod), you could even photo reduce some beer can labels to wrap around the tubes.

For all kinds of induction ideas, pick up a copy of Old Skool Rodz magazine. It's filled with great ideas.

Nice chromed air cleaners are in the Revell '49 Merc kit and the Revell '32 Ford tudor sedan kit.

For velocity stacks, you can just polish some aluminum tubing and angle cut it.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT

Model Car Garage has a nice set with a photo-etch sheet within the kit. They are a little tedious to work with but the results are phenomenal!!!

It also includes the transparent fuel lines which in reality could be simulated with fishing line.

Nice pics Cruz. If you use a little Tamiya clear red, or a clear yellow/orange mix, it will look like the fuel lines actually have gas in them.
