That's trick! Isn't that the same script as the tailgate's getting? I see a theme developing here! Now if you can work in some of those missile-tip bumperettes off a mid-50's GMC....

Thanks guys I really I am pumped about how they turned out, I would love to find the matching script for the tailgate ! I need a matching valve cover still also, if anyone has one laying around !

i was thinking a bit further on covering the intake , you could just use an carburettor style aircleaner fitted over the intakemanifold
http://images.jcwstatics.com/is/imag...00_1?$JCW_SKU$
, that would keep it low and it prolly would be eazier cheaper and lower dan a doghouse manifold too , if it works you could paint it the same way as cloud 9 if you get one thats high enough you might even be able to hide the ecu in there
they might have versions for dual carbs too that should e a bit longer and oval shaped

looks great realy like the temperature controller , i wonder if they can use a front like that to build remote radiocontrolls as whell , it would be nice as it keeps everything in the dash in the same rounded style

wow that looks awesome . does it control the transmission too? (it doesnt say on their website)
this will make getting a ls1 type motor from the wreckers and having it working a lot eazier , no more sifting through a used wiring loom afraid to cut the red wire and have things go boom no need for the wrecks wiring period
