When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

Put drain tubes in back corners in case water gets in?


So I said i'd update this thread regarding my air box. In a previous post somewhere I showed an aluminum air box I had made that form fitted to the hood. Well before I could take the engine / EFI harness and alternator wire out I had to remove that air box, and for some reason, I got a wild hair up my ***. Made a couple phone and email exchanges to a company in the UK. Spent some money with them and literally hoped for the best.
Here's disassembly of my air box. First stripped it bare. Then pulled all the rivets.
