Default WS6's on Horsepower TV

On one of the older episodes, the hosts of the show ran two WS6's down the strip against each other. One of the WS6's had just the sides of the hood scoops painted. I thought it looked pretty cool and was hoping to find a picture of this car because I was considering doing something similar on my SS. Anyone else see this episode and possibly know where I could find pics of this?

Thanks.

Try sending them a e-mail and ask for the picture you want. Can't hurt to ask.

yeah, I saw that. they were Carl Black Blackbirds if I remember correctly. Funny thing is, they didn't show any times. I would think they would show the times to help advertise...unless they weren't that great.

I saw them drive those cars. It was at the Bristol Bash last Oct. The times weren't impressive (mid 13's? ). Of course neither of them could drive them. They were Blackbirds.
