Looks like it would have fit under a stock hood after all. :annoyed: I think I will put a flat hood on it just to keep it low key. :icon_thumby:





Small scoop on there for now.

That looks cool. Have you ever figured up how many hours of labor you have in it?

Naa. It wouldn't be as many as you'd think considering I only work on it a couple hours at a time.

that is sick and wrong, but then so am i :icon_thumby: looks good, you should tunnel ram it with a camel hump between the air intake tube and the tunnel ram, that would be unique if you had a welder, i see you already have some fab skills :D to get a big block in a V6 hole

Is that about what they put in the monster trucks?

Ready to see it on the news for new land speed record. But I bet when you start it up, I'll be able to hear it in Ohio. :D

Nicely done! :drool:

God I love that truck! I really like the fact that it is being kept low key. I've always been a sucker for a good sleeper project.

With no exhaust, it certainly sounds like one. My kids are scared of it.

I'm actually surprised it fit under the stock hood. I'm reeeeaaaalllly glad it did. :3gears:

Ha, Yeah putting the flat hood back on it will definately keep it low key, till you turn the engine over. Very nice, I'm amazed at how well that fits.

Ha. Beggars can't be choosy. Besides, it's all a part of the lure. Nobody expects a boring old powder blue Ranger to really be a powder keg with a lit fuse!

The flat hood will really lend to it's stealthiness when it's just parked somewhere. I've had nice stuff messed up in the past, so I like to keep a lower profile these days. :secret:
