It looks like this now and it is ready to be an aluminium one...

Here you can see what is inside of that thing.

"I want one too!"
 
Gentlemen, hold your horses! This is just a prototype and fabricating needs a lot of spending money, that I don´t have... Shocked

This professional (retired) "aluminum man", who lives close to me, has done almost everything that can be made of aluminium... I asked if he could cast some gasser wheels or AMC blower intake... No problem! Only if I can fabricate a suitable pattern for him... I have known him over 25 years, but never before asked him to do something for me and my projects! What a fool I´ve been! Have to go to my garage and hit my head with sledgehammer!! Twice!!

It is very nice looking indeed. It does sadly show why it was never popular for AMC in that they end up thick, expensive to machine and very heavy. I think the last one I saw was 17lbs.
Help people, be joyous and friendly and enjoy beer....even if its imported!
