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

Eggs-mobile? Seems you have a pultry problem over there. We just have a Pest issue in general here in TX:

*vegaschevy* · 09-01-2009, 02:28 AM

a few i have seen and more chicken cars... lol

Mordachai · 09-01-2009, 07:42 AM

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?

You have a lot of work ahead of you... Time to convert this C10 into a Chick-Ten

I've been following this one on both here and Inliners. Amazing work, and love the style. Tempted to try something like this myself...

Tempted, but I know better. haha.

What is it that that bunny is getting it on with? or do I even wanna know?

*vegaschevy* · 09-01-2009, 09:55 PM

Back on track with this bad ass intake set up.

I think this is flat bad ass!!!

I would rock it all day

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.

Vega_67C10 · 09-01-2009, 10:36 PM

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.

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...

VA72C10 · 09-02-2009, 11:30 PM

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...
