Ya know...
I was drawing a lot of air before from underneath the radiator shroud...
...the red annodized aluminum was to keep the traditional red in front on StuzVette...
I discovered with the radiator, condenser, and heat exchanger for the Maggie...I could prolly pull air from the screened open fog lamp area which would be as cool or cooler than air underneath...

Ill let you know if all it does is gag...

Thanks!

I guess I was just not looking at it and holding on to the traditional theme...cause your right!

It was Corvette Concepts hokey intake and I have to tell you their earlier air boxes were not the finest material or workmanship...
...but it lasted 4 years...

Making the change has shown me that I should have change the intake a long time ago...love the bling

peace

Hey Ted...

Thanks! ...Sooo Sorry to hear about your beautiful vette...my heart sunk to see it...
Hope you get it up and running again soon...and hope you can get it to Ecklers...
Either way...I hope you will be there!

...ya know ever since I got the kwik lift and can actually get to all the parts I am enjoying it again...and more than ever before...
...getting 32 yards of concrete (2100 square feet area) helped too!

I can now clean and wheel StuzVette in and out and up
...without throwing up a lot of dirt...

...I call it Corvette Playground...




Peace
Stu
