Post Cold Air intake

I was lookng for a way to feed cold air to the cone filter I installed on my 83 NA. I had an idea and spare left headlight cover. So I decided I had nothing to lose. I fabricated an NACA duct in it and trimmed the back cover of the headlight bucket to open airflow into the engine bay. Fresh air flows directly into the area around the cone the headlight mechanism is still fully functional. And it doesn't look too bad either. Similar to fiberglass Turbo unit I saw on the web, but it didn't cost me $150
