Cold air intake on the 52 race truck

As dark as it gets purest please look at your own risk


I wanted a way to get a cold air intake without adding a hood scoop on the race truck. Here is what I came up with,if all goes well I will get to test it this Saturday. I hope its good for a tenth,two would be great.
