I know what you mean.
I haven't heard from him in almost a week, so I don't know what he wants to do next.
I want to put the parts into a CAD drawing, but no time.

The work I have done includes making a clay model to be CAD scanned .Will be either plastic or a mold for carbon fiber cover,just very time consuming with details . Trying to produce quicker . Banning out metal takes a while . Sending off next week to get quote on manufacturing cost. Hoping it will be favorable .

Blueprints of the system (some but not all) are at the Pontiac Oakland Museum. They were with the Tom Goad info. Glass filled polypropylene can now be 3d printed, but I expect the cost to be $$$$.

Well the price to build these will be well over 2 hundred thousand plus and my pockets are not that deep. With the limited numbers projected cost per unit would be $8,000 plus . Don't think buyers would be rushing to buy at that price. Tooling ,prototyping and manufacture cost is just too much. So mass production for me is out of reach. Some large manufacture might be able to do something but that's it .

Wow! I will keep a look out for it. Probably way out of my league but I'd like to see how it looks.

If you include reproducing the 73-74 T/A air cleaners, you are probably close. It's probably the most complex Ram Air system.
