:rofl you wasted time looking all that up  :lol Im not even going to read it. I dont care.

I have tinted headlights and taillights which are very illegal, and the cops dont care. and the window tints on the car are WAY darker than legal, still no biggy to them.
  

Doesn't matter now.... but if your in an accident.... great bullits for other driver. :)


BTW Super Chevy was this past weekend. Daughter's Camaro received Second Place in Street Class.

OK, I have some new favorite pics after this weekend...

Start with an old York, air-conditioner compressor, make a bracket to relocate your alternator, accommodate the compressor and re-use your existing belt tensioner and serpentine belt system (with a longer belt, of course)

Get a safety blow-off valve, and a pressure sensor switch/relay to control the operation of the magnetic clutch on the compressor, make a manifold for all of the plumbing and fabricate a new bumper that now also doubles as your air tank which holds 2.5 gallons.

Put a switch in the dash to control the operation of the compressor and an air-pressure gauge to keep an eye on it all.

Fills the tank from 0 - 150 psi in < 30 seconds with engine rpm @ 1500.

Fills a 33" x 12.5" tire from 10/12 psi to 30 psi in < 45 seconds.

Also has enough juice to run the impact gun for tire changes  :aok

Better shield those lines well. Front coupling facing up may fill with dirt/mud.

Haven't gotten that far yet, but they are mostly up under the frame and out of harm's way.

WD-40 cap works magnificently  :aok

That's very clever.  I have a brother who might be interested in copying that.   :salute

I think I see Kimbo fighting back there near the boats.

Tell him to watch out for the metal thing and that the chill dawg rule only applies to amateur fighting.

I just found out Saturday that one of our Club memebers sold his camaro. It was a 2010 Indy 500 Pace Car. One of only 294 sold to the public.

I nearly fell over when I saw what he sold it for.......

The car is immaculate and only driven on weekends..... 610 RWHP 557 TQ.

I had to sell her a few years back, but this was probably my favorite. I guess that makes me a Spit-dweeb!
