As does Jerry Brubaker's dark green '74 show car. Kind of complex but
attractive. Incidently, once you're moving, no water will get anywhere close to
Weber stacks due to the huge volume of under-car air exhausted out the rear
'window' opening in the decklid. Also keeps water out of the distributor.
Parking in bad weather or running thru an automated car wash is a whole 'nother
subject. I personally wouldn't drive a street car without an air cleaner,
since I can't afford the frequent engine overhauls this causes from inhaled
dirt and dust. FWIW- J Deryke
