Default Custom Hotchis STB as a coil bracket

Hey guys ,Just wanted you guys to see a custom Hotchis STB that i modified and fabricated to hold my LS1 coils. After it was fabricated and powder coated , I decided on going with the stronger, oval , truck coils for my APS build, which will not work with this setup being its custom made for LS1 coils only!! or MSDs. So its currently in the sales sect,verses rechopping and repowdercoating, ETC .Its perfect for a guy thats looking to buy a bad *** set of valve covers that will now be seen and also looking to keep his coils visable and not hide them like others do!! while still showing off the LS1s coils LOL!! Its definatly a one of a kind piece that cannot be bought in a store LOL!!I was wondering what you guys thought about it
