Installed the front inner fenders. I am really glad I decided to paint them red.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys! here are some clearer pictures (I didn't realize that the pictures from my iPad are so unclear)
This weekend I have been working on putting the bed together. I have decided to use the metal floor for now, and I will eventually use the wood floor down the road. |

Very nice work on the gas tank.
Red inner fenders do look great. |

Hi! Very Nice Build!!! I was wondering if your LS engine was a return type fuel system or a returnless system? I found an article on one of the Vette forums that showed how they converted the sending unit to a returnless system, here's the pictures, might help if this is what your'e gonna run.

IDK, but here's the tank ring install:
http://transamcountry.com/community/...?topic=56613.0 I'd like to see what kinda regulator dealio they did- most guys just do the Vette filter/regulator on the frame and a short return line (like I'm fixin' to). |

Unless you pulled the regulator out of the 4th gen F-body fuel sender, you dont need the Corvette regulator/filter

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
It's all good! Glad to share! I'm still on the fence about which engine to run, after I do all the machine work, buy the rotating assembly and have it balanced, and buy the necessary gaskets and valve regrind to my heads, I could buy one of those Pacific Fabrication new pull out 4.8 Vortec's with the new harness and the computer reflashed for $1750.00 !!! cost about $450 to have it freighted to my work. I'll have to think long and hard on this one!!! I got my machinist friends to make me some adapter plates for the small chevy mounts to LS1 engine mounts. guess I'll have to chew on that some more:smoke:
