Love the look of that Rev II hood Wes, with the stacks sticking up thru it You say you've secured the belly pan to the bottom....... permanently? I think I can see how you can assemble the rest, if that's the case, but...   Always nice to see the Saltster Later, and God bless  |

It's like a ship in a bottle, all that goes inside goes in through the interior opening - frame then the V-12 through the hood and so on... Building in His Name |

Talking to a lot of 1:1 rodders using the curved scoops, they'll tell you that with them turned with the opening turned forward that there is so much turbulence that the engine didn't run well. They turned the scoops around with the opening to the rear and the engine smoothed out.
Guess more then anything else it comes down to what you're willing to put up with.
In Christ

I know , I am awfully pickey what I would drive these days . I actually haven't been able to drive since 2006 . Thanx .. |
