Default Sawzall + beer =

After a good three-day drinking binge, I noticed my sawzall in the corner next to the Vette.....

Drinking no, smoking......:)

For a road racing car it is sweet, not for a daily cruiser.

Double stacking filters is actually recommended in the old Chevy Power books that Chevrolet put out in the 70's, probably into the 80's as well.
I'll keep my Xstreme, though, thanks...

Was a test posted a while back that showed that was worth nothing and a small 7" filter made just as much as the biggest filter did on a 440 chrysler. Too lazy to search the archives for it.

He actually cut the L88 hood for that silly **** air cleaner setup. I would bet $20 that makes no more power than a K&N.. Not even talking about the extreme.

:nonod: :sad:
I hate it when people do this to something so beautiful....isn't that what old Mustangs are for?
I'm hoping that this car was once totaled/salvaged/wrecked beyong recognition and then the creator of this started re-building and trying out his mods. That's the only reason I can see to try anything like this.

Is the frame even a corvette frame? Maybe he had a body lying around and said,
"Hey if I cut here and glass there and and and - cut off the back, then it'll fit!"

I love the quote "...without the shame of tearing apart and modifying an original example."

I wonder who bears the shame of the original deed? No matter, I hope he is in Ford Focus hell paying for his sins.
