After replacing all the door and hatch "gaskets", even taping the doors and hatch shut, here's how Steve Batchelor solved the dust problem . . .

 Thanks again Jim... do you know where Steve found that scoop?

 Anyone know where to find small scoops?

 Ordered new door weather stripping today From RockAuto.com.

He made it.  I'll see if I can find a better picture of it. 

I think it's all about equalizing the pressure in and out.  With our roadster, I had a windshield the first time I ran at El Mirage.  The dust came up to the top of the "glass" and obscured my vision. I didn't run it again.  The dust doesn't do what we would suppose it would.

This was about 1990 and I'd driven the roadster up from Berdoo to spectate.  The scoop looks to be configured like an early Pro Stock one.  I'm thinking that it's more important in its location than its configuration.  I only drove the car once -- at Bonneville -- and that doesn't count.  Sure was loud sitting back in there with all that horsepower rattling the tin.  I can barely drive, but never screwed up on that one.  The car was a gem.

  Last Sat we installed an air scoop in front windshield. Used a 2in wide 1/4 cup stainless measuring cup, cut the bottom and handle off, holesawed the wndow and finished to size with the air tool .Glued it in front and back with clear silicone.

 Still need to get some 3m weatherstrip glue or similar [ used to call it Elephant snot back in the early seventies when we put it on our motorcycle bolt threads to keep from coming loose when racing the desert, it was yellow :-)] for the new door weathersriping .

LOL... Gorilla Snot. We used it to glue the hand grips on the dirt bike handle bars. Messy stuff for sure.

We used the term Gorilla Snot too. It's actually weather strip adhesive. We always used 3M brand because their products usually work as designed even if we, as racers, seem to find other uses for them.  :-D :-D :-D

  Major improvement to shop today. 10,000 lb 2 post car lift installed. lifts up to 75 in.

  No more laying on back to check rod bearings ECT.

  Picked up hoist in Hayward Ca last week and had 2nd thoughts about installing ourselves.

   600 bucks to install and glad I had it done, saved a lot of cussing.

We eliminated the hose all together and blocked it off at the tank.  It is time to fire it up soon!!

 New fat boy tires arrived Fri, mounted and balanced today.

 We had a problem with an air dump valve causing slow shifts and Scotty Owens is sending two today.
