hahah - you know Chris dictated all that to me. I was so lost in all y'all's (? - now I just made that word up) "camber" talk.

I meant to ask - what the heck happened to Tom's shaker? And why wasn't I copied on the emails? I feel left out (musta been an order prob since he was high on pot when he ordered)

Where is Red? and I guess we lost the black V6 chick awhile back.

BTW, Bill, I may be copying your mod list format. It is very clean. Tho I have so few mods...unless you count my pretty rock chip.

I placed an old sheet over the engine, to catch any metal shavings, and I placed the plywood there for insurance. The way I had the hood supported I had plenty of clearance, just peace of mind.

Why go to all the trouble of removing and installing the hood if you don't need to ?

Well, once you actually cut the template out with a razor knife, you are at the point of no return, so you calm down and realize, hmm it's just a little hole. Not to mention at the time of the write-up I had ALREADY cut the hole

We have pretty much lost all but the original four and Mike. Tony has dropped off the face of the Earth, Red is surely sailing and I can't remember the Blk V6 girls name. , but why would we need another girl when we have you Susan

Was just thinking, I pretty much know what Bills WILL look like with the white stripes and the shaker, becuase I have seen one with 8" or 10" stripes; but I am curious. How would the Shaker look with 12" Black stripes on a TR Vert ?
Only one person here could show us

Wow, another whole page of stuff... that's what I get for going to sleep.

Yeah, my scoop was damaged. I just sent a copy of my complaint letter to you, Susan. CDC is taking care of the problem (and I'll have the best scoop on Earth).

Please feel free (I ripped the idea from someone else!)
Sorry, rock chips don't count, unless tastefully placed!

Yeah, not sure what happened to Tony. Life must be in the ultra-fast lane as a Mgr of a NY restaurant. I e-mailed him a while back asking for all the pics and vids he accumulated so I can finish the project for him.
Red was last seen sailing into the Bermuda Triangle!
I can't remember the the V6 chick's name either, but she sure had some big chrome wheels!

I agree with Daryl, you're the cool chick here!

You're curious? I'm curious too!
The 12" stripes are going to look PHAT!

Oh well! I needed it for the upcoming stripe project.
WOW We sell the 1½" roll for $5.98.
You will need it to mask the hood for the hole you WILL cut for the Shaker System too.

Hood scoop mini-poll.

After my stripes are on, I'm thinking hood scoops.

A. Roush scoop (non functional, have to drill 7 or so holes into the hood)

B. CDC Shaker (Daryl & Tom (aka. Shaker Bros): Please try and give me an impartial opinion)


If Roush, leave it painted (no stripes)? Or paint/vinyl matching stripes over the scoop?
I'm trying to imaging working the vinyl over the contours of the scoop and it seem's like it'll be a royal PITA. Alot of guys leave the scoop solid colored over the stripes.

I like the Shaker, but it poses a few obstacles for me.
1. I just bought that darn plenum cover! And I like the way it looks.
2. I also like the K&N CAI. I'm wondering if the Shaker 'Cold Air' duct will somehow adapt to the K&N heat shield?

Your thoughts? Keep in mind, it's specific to my car, not the scoops in general.

Yes, I got bent over on that one.

But, it was bought from the same Auto/Body shop where Chip Foose gets his supplies from.

So, I think my green tape is better than yours.

Nah in Oklahoma & Texas "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.

Tom - your luck is crazy! From the quality hold (I know you want to forget about that) to the busted shaker. But you're right - when you finally get your stuff, it's perfect!

yeah, but what is possessive plural? (Bill, our grammar patrol will help us out with that one.)

Possessive plural is "all y'all's" (like you originally said), as in "I like all y'all's shaker systems!"

I'm just glad I didn't want to install it this "weekend". My weekend is different from all y'all's.

I will at the end of the month... But I already vote Shaker. I'm sure you can incorporate it into the K&N setup. And, you can sell the cover on eBay (like me) and get some money toward the shaker (it's free money since you already spent it before).
