  • Going topless...errr I mean hoodless!

    Look mom, no hood!









    Was doing some work on the Vette, installed an electric "pusher" type fan to help keep this big block cool in the summer time heat. An overall 20 minute install minus wiring, but the damn thing required for the hood to come off. Sooo, with it off decided to snap some pictures seeing as it doesn't come off often. That hood was LIGHT, and damn was I afraid we were going to drop it. Phew, got the fan in and it runs great now! No over heating issues, and with the carb spacer I also picked up it seems to run better as well! All in all a good day for doing some mechanical work. Now to replace that darn power window motor in the Camaro, replace back brakes, and paint my calipers. Then I will be set. Not sure if you can see or not, but also painted the calipers on the Vette and I think it looks really sharp.

    Looks sweet man. I LOVE your exhaust set up, similar to Shelby Cobra style :drool: I just think that looks frickin awesome!

    Got any dyno numbers or track times for that beast?
