custom junkyard air filter

[AcampoDave]

I made this from an early 80's C10 housing. First I removed the snorkel to reveal the oval opening in the housing. Then I placed a piece of paper inside the opening and sprayed it from the outside with paint. This made a pattern of the oval which I cut out with scissors and replicated several more times by tracing and cutting on more paper. I then used small pieces of tape to secure my paper patterns evenly around the exterior of the housing and sprayed the whole circumference with a lighter color. After I removed the paper patterns, I cut the resulting stenciled ovals out with my jigsaw. Next, some prep and paint and there you have it an original low buck custom air filter. Later I will order a K&N element specific to the year model of the housing.
