    If i remember correctly a cop pulled me over becouse of my blower sticking up to high. He said if i can't see my radcap from the drivers seat then it was illegal. His reasoning was that if my car was overheating i would'nt be able to tell. I showed him my various collection of gauges, but he did'nt seem to care. Dosent sound like a law to me. FYI bumpers on trucks are optional, so they are not required to be street legal.
    B 4 I tore the "Z" apart I set the mock up block N' Blower/injection in place. I could see the ground about 20 ft. in front of the car. Semi tractorz' have a purdy' good sized blind spot too. Blower is only 'bout 15" wide tractor hood iz' 'bout 4'-5' wide. That'll be my excuse anyway. Spoz' they'll buy it?

    Hey Diamond . Howz' about a chrome extension for the rad. cap ? He HE HE Then U could see it over the blower.
