Side Scoops???

Batgod, ????

Have to get Nate's turbine scoops out to him first. (BTW... "Molded from the original" dude... where'd you get the idea that they weren't?)

You have these?



This is the best I could come up with.



So who else has the side scoops?

RE: Side Scoops???

Why wouldnt you want those made out of 12 or 14 gauge steel so you can step on them with no worries?

Very old. In fact I think you were probably one of the first to see it.

Yeah I remember you sending it to me! As well, the one titled "Poor man's mold release." How do they look now?

RE: Side Scoops???

I have a pic of BatGod's somewhere on here (my computer). It is the pic I sent to Nate when he wanted to get some. I can look for it, but I need to ask Paul before I post it.

I'd say he'd shift 4 sets if you were allowed to post the pics. Man the postman is gonna hate me. If i start getting post like that he'll have to trade in his bike for a car.

Hmmmmmm

RE: Side Scoops???

You would have to trim a little off the front and back center of the car.

RE: Side Scoops???

It's probably going to depend on your body. I don't know how much variation there is among the different molds out there but if the body has a true 141" wheel base and the chassis has 142" then you're going to have to fudge 1/2" in both the front and the rear. Not sure how noticeable that would be.

What other options are there, besides chopping the frame, to adjust the wheelbase an inch or so? ...and are would they be better?
Don't answer that here, I'll start a new thread.

RE: Side Scoops???

Uh Oh. I didn't think of that. Is that bad even if the chassis isn't being altered??

Hmmmmmm
