Thread: 55/58 Chevy truck build

I expect the audio doesn't do it justice, but if she's happy then great.

I just got a nice idea for exhaust which I'll share while it's on my mind. An X crossover which terminates on both sides of the mufflers, with a cut off valve in the middle.

With valve closed, quiet and a marginally power loss.

Open the valve, and power boost plus LOUD AS HELL.

Best applied when passing the bloke who has been going five miles under the speed limit, and speeds up at the passing lane.

Those clowns drive me nuts!
I followed two camper vans across the Himitangi plains a few years back. they were driving nose to tail; so I had to pass both at once.
We were in a 100 kph zone, (60 mph) they were up to 100, down to 70, up to 90, down to 70...I was driving a four cylinder manual and was up to 5th, down to 4th, up to 5th, then down again...
I finally got to pass them at the passing lane north of Bulls...and they were both doing 100 kph.
A cop came over the top of the hill and pinged me at 116 kph.
I got a ticket that cost me $140.
I told the cop the story, he just shook his head and said, "I didn't see that. I can show you the figures in the machine if you want, they weren't going over the limit; they were bang on it. You weren't"
Bastards.
