I've been thinking about removing my shaker and buying a hood..... I've been in love with this Cervini's hood since it first came out and then at Stangstock there was a lady there that had it on her Eleanor clone- what do you guys think:

That's really a tough call for me. I obviously love the shaker since I have one but I also love the look of the Eleanor's. But the Eleanor kits have an entire theme going from front to rear. Perhaps if you did the hood,front bumper and grill in combo than I'd like that for sure.

Tom I've always like the Cervinis hood too! One thing I have noticed when I had my Cervivnis Side scoops on, there dimensions are large! Have you ever notice how there duck tail spoilers look out of dimension on a car without the rest of the kit!

Hey Scott, that was cool of the shop owner to fix it up that fast and even bring the car to you. I don't know of any shop around here that would do that.

Don't I know it. He has done work on my cars since 1985. He is great. Also this past March when Ford wanted over 4K to put a new trans in my wife Explorer he tore it apart and found out it was only a bad O-ring in the pump. So while it was out I had him completely rebuild the trans including a new torque converter and he only charged me $1,600.00 and gave me a 2year/24K mile warranty to boot. I think when I stop by tomorrow night after work to pay him I need to drop him an extra 50 so he can take his wife out for a nice dinner.

I agree with Tom. Maybe need to move the car out into the daylight for a better picture. I like the rear rotors. I can tell those are not Rotorpros because the slot in curved. What brand is that? And can you just remove that CF stuff if you want?

Yep - I hate to see it end that way, but when you play like poo, that is what you get. I have to say at least we have one Super Bowl under our belts. Let someone else have a shot.

Now I am rooting for whoever is against New England!

Well it was cold and rainy so I could take the car out of the Garage. It is just flexible tape so it could be removed. Rotors are EBC brand slotted and dimpled. Again not sure I like it.

Me personnally I'm a Cowboys fan and I want them to get to the 'Bowl but actually I'm rooting for New England. I don't buy all of this "cheating" crap and besides that, they have been incredible this year.

Mark Scotty's word on this date. Little "E" will not have a stellar year like JJ and Gordon. I don't really think he is that good of driver. He got his popularity from his old man. Place your money and take my bet!!!!!!!!

Uh yeah I'm gonna take the bet that he won't have as good of a year as the reigning 2x champ or Gordon.... Sure he got alot of popularity becuase of his old man- but that's hardly his fault. As far as driving ability he did win consecutive Busch championships and had pretty good years in '04, '05, and finished '06 in 5th place overall. He spent '07 plagued with MANY engine problems after announcing he was leaving DEI- coincidence? I think not......

I think after he gets settled into his new team, he'll be back to form. Probably not this year but next.

Nascar...Nascar.. are those the red neck hillbillies that can't turn right

I watch acouple of races a year...use to belong to a Fastasy Racing league, finished 2nd and then 1st. The stopped having the league after that. Only about 10 to 15 drivers (4 or 5 teams) even have a chance to win a race, the rest of them are just earning a pay check and trying to get sponsership for the next race. Morgan-McClure closed their doors this week. Trying to get eought money to just run Daytona (Mike Wallace driver).

If you want to be a Couch Potato next week sit back and watch Speed everynight. Barret-Jackson auction is on. It's fun to watch rich people throw their money at nice looking cars.

I love watching Barrett-Jackson. I think it is televised starting on Thursday thru Sunday this coming week. Heck, I was watching some replay of 2007 yesterday. Karen and I don't watch Nascar like we did either. We kinda lost interest. I've be a big Mark Martin fan and she a Rusty Wallace fan. Now Martin is driving Chevy's no less.
