Found this picture on line of the upper piece. It is right under the headlight. It is open in the back and its purpose is to keep snow from entering the intake.

It would be difficult to get a good picture of the part that is under the hood but it looks like the pictured part that is on the top side and is mounted "upside down" underneath and has what looks like a peice of PVC tubing attached to it which fits over the air box tube when the scoop peice is taken off. It would be take some time to fabricate something that would work the same.
What could be done is to make a hole in the louvers and extend a peice of tubing straight up through it from the airbox tube. Then some type of intake on top, maybe a scoop that could be pointed forward or rotated backward when there could be snow entering it.
Or do the best, easiest modification and run without the side panels. That gives much lower underhood temps - better for the belt, pulleys, brake, engine, chaincase, bearings, etc., plus lower intake air temp.

Thanks for the reply looks were nice will have to see what I can fabricate. I was thinking of using a frogzskin circle 3" and mount it on both upper corners of the top intake and maybe add some pcv to make the original intake more straight. Idk yet still exploring my options

I've made MAAAAAAANY things this way.
1. Get any kind of foam block or make one with a can of expandable foam.
2. With a blade or electric knife, trim to whatever shape you need.
3. Put some kind of release agent on it before the fiberglassing begins. Or Saran-Wrap it.
4. Fiberglass then sand & file to fit.
HVAC ducting is very malleable. Pound on it till it fits your needs/wants.
Keeps rivet in mind as well.

This one just sold on eBay. There are pictures, but they are not too good.
