DOOD !! Fuggin score. You better love me Joe, I just scored some BADASS "scat" tube for your SC . We had about 8ft that wasnt showing in our inventory . They sell it in 11ft lengths for around 200 bucks your price

FREEBIE !! 8)

define "scat tube" and SC puleeeeeze!

 

[P]

SC = supercharger

SCAT tube is high heat flexible tubing ( wire impregnated ) they use in jet and other aviation applications for duct work and ****... We need something to get his Supercharger plumbed and an air filter in a good functional location, I thought **** man lets use some SCAT luckily we had the size here at work that was not in inventory so its a freebie.

I understand now! I thought the scat tube was what you damaged in Kansas and you found an 8' piece to replace it!

damn fine job p i was worried about plumbing the air intake.it's a good thing it was free because at $200 a foot i would have used pvc pipe fittings like cole did.
i have everything apart but the front axel and it is olny held by two links and it will be apart tomrrow. the soda blaster guy came by today and confirmed tuesday so i have alot of grinding and welding to do. i will try to have some picts of the chassis painted on wednesday

200 for an 11ft section... but still expensive. Im just glad it isnt the bright orange **** we usually have, its black 8)
