There is an interesting air cleaner on one of your customer's nice looking white and blue ERA GT. Any idea about the air cleaner?
I want to get my car running on a 4bbl before Webers to work the bugs out and this would be a nice air cleaner in the interm.

Ron,
Looks an awful lot like an ITG filter.

ITG made them for TWM. Purchased one from TWM for my 40 along with the throttle bodies last year. ITG makes a couple of different types of foam for the cleaners. I wanted to make sure the one TWM was selling was OK for street driving. I didn't see this filter on ITG's website and inquired. ITG said they made it exclusively for TWM, thats why it wasn't listed on their site. The foam is for street use.
Interesting, a look on TWM's website today indicates that TWM no longer sells the filter. You'll probably have to contact ITG to find out who you can buy one from now.

Here are some photos I took at Laguna Seca (Monterey Historic Races - these are the original cars) about 15 years ago showing various color schemes:
You want Gulf? We've got Gulf(#1075):
Is this the original Gulf color scheme?
Essex Wire colors(#1026):
Yes, there are red ones(#1033? I don't have my programs handy...)
And even green(#1061):

I'm looking to go black with silver ghost stripes. How do you convey to the painter the degree of ghost(how transparent?) Has any done this color scheme pics would help?

ghost strips are usually done in 2 ways. the first is have a light layer of semi-translucent paint, so it give or yields a "frosted" look, kind of like etched glass.
the second is harder, you pick the same color, but 1-2 shade lighter, this way, the observer has to take a double look to actually see the strips. hence the "ghost stripe", is it really there. it can be "blended" or applied as a seperate layer.
