Hokey faux speed parts

Saw a car with fake injection stacks...
Faux Hemi valve covers for a SBC?

Any other "fake" speed parts out there so pathetic/funny they are worth mentioning/seeing

 

The fake Rocket valve covers for the SBC.
Notice its all for the SBC, even the motor wants to be something else!!
Doc.

 

Normally you only see this stuff at winter car shows. Indoor affairs with ropes around the car so you don't get too close.

Don't get me wrong, I love winter car shows, and always have a bag of pop-corn to analyze each car to death...

As more and more cars get trailered to the NSRA and Goodguy shows, these events will become summer replicas of the winter indoor shows.

 

Probably the gayest thing I have seen was faux engine covers making a one lung Bajaj motorcycle into a boxer-six like a Gold Wing. It even had the fake exhaust pipes with 3 into 1 pipes on both sides. That was shortly before I left India.

Funniest part was the guy had them held on with white zip ties...

 

Fake quick change= Dumb

 

Funny thing is, in my part of the country a real one is easier to get! Of course most are liveaxles.

 

This Nomad was being discussed a while back: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=294197 , it
looked like the engine was hidden by "faux-0-9" valve covers
I seem to recall that during the dark ages (mid 70's to mid 80's) it was
popular to hide a carb inside a fake blower

 

At the day of the drags I say a tbucket with a fake blower . It went across the field and I thought it was going to shake off !

 

Fake stick shifters and fake lake pipes

 

fake hood pins and fake jockey shifters and kickers are pretty hilarious, oh yeah on/off switches for blowers too.

 

How do you fake a kicker? Never seen that one.

 

Just about as fake as it gets!!!



What a waist of 6 97's

 

I hope that grenade rad cap is fake. HOLY SHIT!!!

 

Yeah I saw that at the blacktop bash too, the best part is electric panel intake on the hollow v6-71 blower.

 

How about fake Knuckleheads and generator side cover to go on you Sportster along with a fake kicker?

i saw this at a show and was like " thats cool.... wait where is that other fuel line going too!"

 

Faux parts are traditional. About 1958 I was a teenager that knew nothing. I was so impressed with the DeSoto Fire dome V8 in the chopped and channeled Model A coupe. My older cousin took one look and said "that's a fuckin' flathead!". It had me fooled! I'm sure it would be scorned if it showed up today from the time machine.

 

Might as well split the evo head and tig a bolt heat on the ends and save the money.

 

I was gonna mention in the early 70's I remember seeing hollowed out 6-71/8-71 cases with Kendig cabrs under neath.

 

I think this idea is pure genius...

 

Magnetic supercharger clutches are not fake But they are rare

I get instant limp anytime I see some part posing to be something else. If you really wanted the look, then really get the parts. It's shameful.

 

Custom Chrome sold one back in the late 90's those and a set of Pan covers to make your new Heritage Softtail look like a 55 Panhead*PUKES*

 

No words needed.

 

wow,, they make fake red X's too? Sheesh whats this world coming too?

 

there you go with the red X's again

 

I must add that I purchased some faux parts too. BUT with good measure. I will be using it them behind a static display wheel. They are fake Brembo caliper "covers"


LOL!

 

Not only is that foul looking fake injection sold by Garlits, so is this fake blower setup.

Houses a carb underneath.
I'm afraid "Big" went down a notch in my "Hero Book" ​
