Cock-Eyed Air Cleaner

I've always liked the bug-eye or holy-moly Air cleaner,  but always hated the quality and the fact that a 6-year old Chinese girl made it. So I figured I can do it better than a Chinese girl so here's my interpretation. I started with a 5-1/4 diameter x 1-3/4 piece of 6061 aluminum and whittled away most of the innards until it looked more like a velocity stack. Next I used one of my Bubba cast covers and put some holes in and cleared out the inside ribs for some 3/8" UNI filter foam.  I'm using the perforated sheet to hold the foam in and I'm still waiting for ssome stainless mesh to squeeze out of the holes to give it that final touch. Final assembly pics coming soon, so stay tuned.
