I didn't want an air cleaner that you could buy at a store. I wanted something different. I thought about getting 2 big indian head logos water jetted out of aluminum to use at the air cleaner top. I ruled that out as being too costly. So I stood staring at my carbs sitting there and then it came to me...take a hubcap, cut it down to size and use that as the air cleaner top! I've never seen it done and it would be cool!
So I bought these off ebay.

So I get the hubcaps, My first thought, what the hell these are 15" not 14" and they're dished, the pictures made them look semi flat...oh well I'll unbolt the center cap and just bolt that onto the air cleaners I bought. This is what I came up with...
So I get home and look on ebay to see how I could have misremembered the hubcaps. WTF??? the guy sent the wrong hubcaps!!!! Now I don't want to have to unbolt them, send them back, wait for mine. Hopefully he'll just let me keep these and charge me for the ones I wanted. Unless these belong to an ebayer and I ended up with theirs and they got mine.
What do ya think?
Any idea what they're from? They say Pontiac motor division. I thought the tri bar design was a must. Luckily the wrong pair had some sort of "spinner" tri bar design. The main problem with these is the bars are about 1.25". They barely fit under my hood.
