Just to put some "closure" on the thread....

I recieved the air cleaner today and am very happy with it.

Eric's description was very fair.

Thanks again Eric

Hi Rick.

Some information you might use to restore the STar Wars.

The Round insert emblem is standard from a 63 door panel, the letters on the front, BUICK, are also from 1963. I have restored a couple of these Air cleaners.

As for the color I found that 1965/66 Buick Flame red was almost an exact color match

Thanks for the info Jim!

The emblem and letters are in good shape though. Interesting to find out they are from a 63' though! I wouldn't have guessed that.

What I need to work on is the plastic (fiberglass?)

One of the horns (inlets?) is broke pretty bad, the top has to small holes in it like someone tried to drill through it?, and there's a few pretty deep "scuffs" in the fine grooves on the top like something was rubbing on it for some years.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! I plan to just start trying to mess with fiberglass and see what I can do. Sound like a plan?

Thanks again for the info.

Rick
