Raul_Perez Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Harry, Your recent post about someone stealing your avatar got me motivated to changing mine. I was getting a bit tired of seeing the same one all of the time of my 57 Chevy pickup, yet wanted something that was "different". I originally used a dash shot that a friend of mine took of his Z06 with the speedometer reading about 155, but by the time it was reduced down to "avatar" size you really couldn't see the needle. Then I dug this one out of my stash of pics that I've found and that various friends have sent me. The full-sized picture looks unedited, but I can't imagine where anybody would find a supercharger-like pump that BIG that would bolt onto a SBC/BBC and work!! It looks like one of those caricature toys that were really popular a few years back. Hey, maybe I'll model that next!!
dub Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I noticed you changed it yesterday, Raul. I like it! When its reduced like that, the blower looks like a tank that has a pulley and belt bolted through the front of it. The black "brackets" look like rubber bungee straps holding the bug-catcher down to the top of the tank. Definitely hilarious! Do you have an unreduced shot?

Jonathan, I thought that you'd like that one! Yes, I have the unreduced pic on my PC at work. I'll send it to you Monday when I go back to work. There's also one of a 2x supercharged GTO...one on top of the other!! Really wild. I'll send you that one, too. Later,
