Default Custom Cobra Oval Air Cleaner?

The car and engine is on order and i want to make my own oval air cleaner. Does anyone have pictures of some custom ones for a dual quad set up to give me some ideas.

I would love a new bullet air cleaner, just like the black one's from the 60's for Mustangs. With the "427 COBRA" I have one and tried to polish it. The pores were getting worse as I went so, I stopped and had it ceramic coated. It's ok. That why I say, a new bullet one. That would really turn my crank !!!
Maybe we could find someone to machine it for us ? Would depend on price though. The chrome ovals are too thin & cheap, and it has no letters/numbers.

Can you show me some pictures? I actually own my own machine shop and it would be very easy to make, i am just looking for some ideas.

PHM,
Most of the air cleaner tops like that are casted. Wouldn't it warp if you make it from plate or sheet alum. I guess after you machined it then it could be rolled to be somewhat flat. But could you get it flat enough?
A machined billit one would look awsome though. With good CAD software and a CNC machining center you could do wonders.

I would make it from Mic 6 plate which is actually a cast aluminum plate, very stable and would stay flat. I was hoping for more of a response on this one.
