I like the integration! Most people would be satisfied with just sticking something on the back of their Oldsmobile and calling it done...

Re: Cutting holes in a perfectly good hood

wow, from sweet custom touches to sweet rooster rides in less than a page.


I'm now guessing XXL means extra extra large chicken eggs?

Re: Cutting holes in a perfectly good hood

I have a few other sheetmetal-related mods on the list, but it's going to be a while before I can buy Kevin any more new tools. Did you know you can only get $50 or so out of a 7-11 cash register? And there just aren't as many around as there used to be.

I'm not a big fan of hydraulics/bags or step sides, but I must say this one could change my mind. Nice job!

Their still rabid in Dallas. But you gotta hit them right at the end of the night before they stuff the safe.

Therein lies the rub. If you go with Google Maps' travel time estimates, even laying them out in a nice straight line, you're still looking at several hours... and that's assuming you don't hit traffic! Add to that the ever-rising cost of gas, getaway car maintenance, and state mandated liability insurance, and it's almost not worth the effort.

We need George Clooney, have you seen his movies? He's good at stealing things... Right?

That way you can afford to have a working 3-deuce setup this time.

Re: Cutting holes in a perfectly good hood

I picked up a couple of fittings today and spent a few minutes in the garage this evening to get the rest of the fuel distribution stuff fitted...

Re: Cutting holes in a perfectly good hood

Looks great...but I really was enjoying the pictures of animal cars

Looking at the picture it appears your spark plug wires are asking to look as cool as your fuel line. Some red wires would balance out the red and add a little more pop to the engine compartment.

Too much color can throw the eyeballs into a tizzy. Generally, a monochrome or neutral "base" is best with a key color accent. In this case, the 'bright' comes from the chrome pieces and the color accent comes from the transparent red fuel line.

Otherwise, you can get this...
