Shunt? Shunt? Anyone seen Shunt?

I told him not to bug Fbodfather about the headlights

Way t'go!

1+^^^

Also think about how this will enhance the Vert!...I think I might have to seriously consider the vert now.

From what we know about the V6 and now this...The V6 vert might be the perfect match...Performance/MPG & Vert. These will sell like Hot Cakes!!!!

Sorry Maddog, you beat me to teh punch. I didn't see your post until after the page refreshed.

Ha, it's all good.
Love the pics and it does look like a very rigid structure.
Thanks for confirming the observations, garfin/Elie.
Also thanks for posting here 80Zedder.
Nice to see someone here who is actually going to be hammering this machine together.

They don't need to find Shunt. All newer cars are equipped with inside the trunk trunk release handles...so Shunt should be able to get out of the trunk all by Shunt's self.

For anyone lost as to what/who "shunt" is:

Where the hell do you see headlights???????

Consider a 4-point rollbar setup for the convert. You already have the door posts, extend a nice oval shaped bar overhead, run a couple of diagonals from sill to rear .Think about it at least.
Daddy always said you can never get your monocoque too stiff.

The robots are the same exact ones they used in the GM superbowl commercial from a year or two ago. Cool!!

Blizzard · 05-22-2008, 08:28 PM

One day I hope we really find out what Shunt is and info on the rope, btw aftermarket shunt rope and shunt in trunk stickers will be for sale just send $5 plus s & h.

I really think we should make a bumper sticker, or window cling with camaro5 and shunt in trunk on it.
