Thanks Jerry,

That is a good suggestion. Maybe I should scrap the replaceable filter and use a smaller in-line filter (also replaceable) that would hide under the running board apron. I had a set up like that on a restored MG midget money pit I used to own but I got carried away with the idea of this larger filter and could not see a better place to put it but a smaller one would fit underneath. I don't want to go through the fire hazard again along with the cost of another paint repair. However I would like to get in a few more cruise-in events and then do some mechanics later in the Fall. I will know "when" I can't run without side curtains due to cold! The top shop that made my top from scratch is presently adding a zipper to the left side curtain (like a Jeep) so I can adjust the left outside mirror with the door closed. The best news of the day is that my wife had her first ride in the car and did not find in/out a problem so that opens up the possibility of attending local cruise-in events. Today I won a raffle for a nice nylon T-shirt at a cruise-in at a local Pontiac-Buick agency and last night I attended a Chick-fil-A cruse-in where there were almost 150 cars! I'll try a few more of these local events before I start messing with the changes over the winter.
