Have been contemplating doing some trimming on the six pack air cleaner base. I really would like to see more of the carburetors, fuel lines and linkage, and the factory style non-cold air cleaner base really blocks off quite a bit of each of these. Laid out a cut line that would remove all of the 'offending' pieces and would give more clearance for the two speed wiper motor, spark plug wires at the cap and the radiator hose. Has anybody trimmed up one of these air cleaners, and had satisfactory results? Basically I would have a base, filter and top lid without all of the 'hangover'.

The red lines in the second two pictures show where I might cut the base to clean it up. Ben.
