Have you ever worked with fiberglass that much? This project here is crazy, I work for a boat company and to Fab something up like this or similiar is a LOT of work, the making it is easy, the finishing will have you cussing yourself and wondering WTF was I thinking...I have probably 15-20 hours on my visor and I am still not happy with it, gonna take probably another 10 to finish it the way I want. Not trying to stop you or say you shouldn't do this but be prepared for more work than you expect X 2!!!

If your looking for a snorkel, let me know, I have one I will sell ya, never installed...Way cheaper then the ARB snorkel or comp.

That really sucks, I may have one, is it the one that goes from the metal line up to the fuel rail? If the same as 95 I think I have it at my shop...

Nope. The metal line itself. I have a metal line from the tank to the 3" rubber hose that hits the fuel rail. There is a brace on the intake manifold that the line runs through. I think when I put the TC drop on last night, it broke.

i have not but one of my buddys has had extensive experience with it. one of the reasons im looking into making it out of fiberglass is to get some experience working with it. and with summer almost here ill have time to work on it. how much would you want for your snorkel? and what kind is it?
