New hood scoop

Post by captain_john »

Anyone know how I can tie in this really cool hood scoop?

It kinda reminds me of the old school hot rod scoops from back in the 60's.

Any ideas?!?

CJ-

Mount your engine upside-down and use this as your air intake! With inverted oil and FI you should make everything happy!

Check out this video link...looks like a fixed rifle with the site remotely viewable from his helmet. Check out the site and you can see wire coming out of it and tape holding on a motion camera. CJ - just giving you ideas!!!

http://vimeo.com/21181307
This is a somewhat graphic video clip, but it reflects the need to keep feral hogs under control. Feral hogs have become an epidemic problem in many states. One major problem is their massive reproductive capacities. These vermin can easily (and often do) decimate entire crops.

This Texas feral hog shooting video is a realistic portrayal of the control process. The pilot has a fixed .223 rifle with optics rigged back to his helmet and eye-piece. He's fairly accurate, as you'll see, and his Scout Chopper flying skills are quite impressive (drivin' and shootin' at the same time!)
