O.K. I have this mold, now what?

Beside car...


Closeup of Side Intake...


Side of the Side?


As it would sit in the Engine Bay...


Even made it flanged, so it could be inserted easily...


Another view of the flange...


Bought the glass, and then ran out of time. Later, I realized it was because Fiberglass is not a skill I posses...anyone can help let me know.

But where DID that OTHER FILTER BOX come from?

there are some good you tube tutorials for making parts . you should get some info. before you try any glass and resin. Looks like what you have now is called a plug . you need to make a mold out of it with a parting line to create two parts . then with that mold you can make your actual part or parts. research before you even think about doing this .
