Whipple and Shaker, can it be done?

[Charlie Sheen]

Good job, its straight but HIGH lol

LOL

Yeah, it's up there catching geese...

Hmmm, I see room for a gauge or two...

You're going to have to trust me, it looks much better in person.

Doesn't look so bad on here either Brent. I'm glad you were able to keep your shaker, you seem a bit attached to it.

 

[2kanchoo]

I like it. BADass.

 

[Charlie Sheen]

Thanks guys. I'm thinking it can be notched to bring the rear of it back down.

The problem with that is that it may angle the shaker funny.

Cleverly placed rivets would do the job.

 

[Hawgman]

Since I assume it is no longer functional you should just say fuck it and mount your gauges in the back of it

I'm not picturing it in my head, well not with out the front of the shaker being angled up a bit. Unless you notch the front too.

It's just a little higher than mine is with the KB. Mine has been like this for 3 years now, and I actually like it this way.

[Charlie Sheen]

[ZmanM3]

Umm, it can't be done? That sucks Stanley!

Shaker scoop (only) for sale. $50 shipped.

 

[don_w]

Any idea how that happened?

BTW, I started hacking on mine with the dremel yesterday. I need to go buy some smaller rivets and the weather stripping, and then I can finish it up.

No idea. I finished up with the breather filters late last night and took the car for a test spin this morning. Popped the hood to make sure evrything was dry and noticed daylight. I'm guessing it happened sometime in the last 48 hours. When I washed the car on Saturday everything was fine. Buy my scoop and paint it Sonic Blue lol.

 

[ZmanM3]

So what are you going to do now? Get a new hood?

 

[Wyld]

That sucks man, it looked good.

I wonder if flexing of the hood as it opens/shuts may have cracked it.

I figure it was that or when the hood flexed while on the prop-rod.

My choices now:
Put a piece of plexiglass over the hole
Get the TruFiber B429 hood painted and put that back on
Steal one of Ted's yellow hoods and paint it black
Mount the B429 scoop to my original hood
Push the car over a cliff and buy a used Civic

 

[Freaknazty]

Push the car over a cliff and buy a used Civic

yep that's what i would do exactly .....

in all honesty id do the pexiglass over the whole with the b429 hood scoop over it that way you wouldn't be catching birds with the scoop lol
