it might be an idea to run some channel rubber over the cut piece before installing the sloshtub

nice thing about that is that you could hide quite a gap with it and prevent some of the wet gunk comming intoo the space between the inner and outer fender to drip down the visible side inside the engine compartment
I like the rubber idea, for those who aren't going to build panels to go around the Tubz

Great day today just got in the Eddie Motorsports S Drive LS system and I have to say out of all of the pulley systems I have seen and installed this one is at the top of my list , each part packaged separately with its hardware (no sorting through bolts trying to measure them and guess where they go) and the directions are Unbelievable I have read them already each step totally detailed out and pictured ! Amazing !! Thank you Eddie Motorsports for being a part of the Square Peg build !

Nice....can I admit on here I'm supremely jealous of all the freebies you've gotten for your builds? I keep thinking...thou shalt not covet....thou shalt not covet...;)

LOL, if I makes you feel better they aren't all freebies sometimes "sponsorship" means a discounted price and not free.

Awesome, glad to hear that ! Sweet set up !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
from wat i can see it looks like a verry sorted system

i seen the frontrunner system from vintage air a while back the good thing of that system is that it allways lines up the pulleys , they use a frame that bolts to the waterpump bolts front of the engine that mounts all the accessories in one plane with the crankpully so it allways fit no matter wat holes are drilled from the factory or wat type of heads are mounted
there pricey though

Mike is dead right Most of the stuff he is getting is not a 100% free. It is discounted at different %'s depending on the company. But every dollar counts. Its more about what can you do for the company to promote the product. My experience has been companies don't care about features in magazines unless its a how to article which is huge for a companies product. Just my 2 cents.

Also, a lot of companies will only offer 10-15% or so off their normal price, which is no better than a regular sale or group buy. But it all helps and is much appreciated I'm sure!
