Ram Air Fender (updated! Pics-Pg3)

I decided to add a custom touch to my fender since I had it off to do the body work anyways.  I figure this will make it a one of a kind deal.  Added one of my TC replica scoops to it.  turned out pretty good me thinks...  Still gotta do the putty work but almost all the metal work is done.  now I just gotta build a box behind it to make it functional which will happen tomorrow.  The driverside may get the samething, as I have a few things that need lots of air, to go in behind there, ;)

It won't suck in a lot of water will it?Those things worry me.It looks awesome.I'd add another to the other fender,just to even things up.Maybe not functional,but it would balance out the front of the car.

What are you trying to cool? Those scoops don't pull in alot of air unless you are moving at higher speeds. Looks good so far. I wanna see the finished pics.

Thanks guys.  A little water (as in, what ANY OF the ram air systems out there, will/could suck up under normal driving conditions) wont hurt your motor, unless of course you try driving under water.  as for the none functional part?  I think this will make it functional on the driverside as well dont you? ;):

Hence the term "Ram Air".  not to be too much of a dick.  But, I have been seriously working on cars and building them up since I was 16, I know how these scoops work.  look at where the stock intake tract is on these cars, now think of the benifits of a cooler, denser intake charge with out all the extra plumbing from a March ram air kit.  Plus I did it just to be a little different then the guy beside me at a car show.

actually since It needs a rebuild anyways, It is cheaper to rebuild a 351W then it is the HO, so that will go in instead.

OH MY GOD! TT!!! WOWEEE

Man, you guys need to get out some.

The fender idea is pretty wild, i personally wouldnt do it, but it think its definatly something new. I want to see it with paint.
It's Gumby's fault.

That would be me LOL.
Dam ron i don't think your gonna be ready by next wednesday,unless you go hardcore this weekend and "get er done".
Not a bad idea though,if you run a cold air setup through the hole in the inner fender wall where the power pipe goes on mine it would be easy to make it work.
