  1. I had no idea that this topic was going to be so popular. However, I do hear talk about myspace wherever I go. From the radio to people sitting at the next table over from you at a restaurant.

    I was eating at a mexican restaurant the other night and I overheard the poeple sitting near us. One said to the other, "you hooked up from a girl from myspace?" the other guy was like.."Yeah", "Did you know her?", "No, I just met her on myspace." :lol:

    It seems like everyone is either on myspace or at least talking about it.

  2. I've painted mine. They come off fairly easy. You will need to drill out the plastic rivets that hold the grills in so you can paint everything evenly. I'm sure you can buy new rivets to reinstall the grills, but I used nuts, blots and washers to reinstall mine. The only thing I would do any differently would use a better paint. I used some generic paint that I already had and I would use plasti-kote next time around. http://www.plastikote.com

  3. I have already watched that video no less than 20 times and I have been having all of my friends watch it. I'm fairly sure the mufflers are disconnected because it blows the straps out from underneath the car. If it was blowing out the mufflers/tailpipes I feel the air would be blowing over the top of the straps.

     

    The car sounds very mean. I think the video clip of the silver vette doing a walk around has the same cam. It has the same lope, just not nearly as loud.

  4. I had a 1999 Silverado and I broke the power steering pump shaft. I was a little confused b/c the belt was still on and I could see the pulley and shaft spinning, but no power steering. The shaft had broke on the inside of the pump. Maybe that is your problem. Mine broke after slinging a real quick donut in the grass. I don't remember how many miles it had on it, but I do know it was still under warranty at the time.

  5. Looks pretty good.  I like it. 

     

    One question though...having the coil packs up there isn't going to interfere with the whipple supercharger?  I thought the whipple sits right about where the coil packs are now....could be wrong though.

     

    The whipple supercharger sits right above the passenger side valve cover, so it will interfere with the coil packs on the pass side with the way I have them right now. :banghead: I do have some slack in the plug wires so once I have the supercharger mounted I hope they will be long enough when I move the coil packs. I may have to put them under the supercharger. I have to do things in stages since this is my daily driver and I just wanted to go ahead and get the valve covers on. I guess that's all part of hot rodding, especially when you are mixing and matching parts.

  6. UPDATE: I finshed both sides. The only problem that I'm running into is there is a small vibration right around 2000 rpm's from the coil packs. Because there hanging out over both sides of the intake the vibration is magnified. I guess I'm going to have to add some kind of support brace to the bottom of them. I'm also going to make some kind of engine cover to cover the top of the intake to help clean/cover things up a little.
