Title: I/C ducting removal
Post by: t3skidoo on July 20, 2008, 12:22:29 AM
Is there a "safe" way to remove the underhood ducting from the 87/88 TC hoods?  Mine appears to be riveted.

Just drill out the rivets.  It won't harm a thing.

Be careful, don't want to go through and stab the hood skin.

Personally, I'd grind the heads off.

He shouldnt go though as they are riveted to the cross supports if the hood.

I drilled mine out and it wasnt a problem
