Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today
blah blah blah, I did mine about 7 years ago, and although I was the first to use the trans am scoop Gary S. was the first to come up with the idea, period. I'm not talking about whos idea it was or not, fact is I did mine different than Garys to be different from everyone else. Now everyone and their grandmother has it. Some people have told me the copying is the greatest form of flattery, however when you do things to be different, the concept no longer works, so I'll just have to come up with something new.

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today
Morgan, thanks for the props, my air inlet won Most Innovative Mod KC '98. You want to do something new and unique, how about a motorized inlet that opens and closes with an electric solenoid controlled off of boost. Kind of like the intakes on a Murcielago or Gallardo that opens according to demand?

If you want to do this. just use a old syty wastegate and have that as your actuator for the door. plumb it into the boost line and there ya go. opens underboost and the spring pressure will close it back. I'm sure you have most of those parts just laying around the shop. :tup:

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today
As a Structural Engineer, I'm going to answer this (and yes, I know the subject is dead, but I'm cruising through this thread and living vicariously, so lemme be :rotf
There are two problems with the use of concrete or cinder blocks when supporting a vehicle: they aren't sufficient for load bearing with their cores laid horizontally (and will crush without warning), and even when used vertically, the distribution of load across the top face of the block has to be even in order to avoid point loading which can shear and collapse the block.
There is an acceptable way to use cinder/concrete block for the purpose, but why bother? By the time one sets it up to allow them to be used safely, you're better off with ramps.
There ya go!
