Got another snow/too cold day. Got the tank mount finished. Also got the other side outboard mount started before I ran out of mig wire. Cleaned up the garage.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Cool build so far. I am curious about your gas tank. On a SWB suburban the filler is behind the rear wheel. Is your tank between the frame rails or outside? Do you have pictures?

Here's another pic. Baffles will be inside. I still need to figure out how I'm going to mount it, filler neck and securing the pump. I bought a piece of stainless at my local scrap yard for $40. Made a template and then went to a local shop that sheared it and bent it up for me for $40. Custom stainless tank for $80 thus far.

I just set the bottom and side piece of the gas tank in the truck so you can see how I made it to go around the 4 link set up. Not sure if this helps you any.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Nice work on the new tank. Thanks for the pics. For the fuel pump have you looked at the Aeromotive Phantom in tank pump. Installation looks relatively easy.

Got another snow day today lol. Got out to the garage and got my transmission crossmember done. I had one in previously but the angle was off and I had no way of running exhaust.

Because I wanted it as low as possible I decied to use a couple 1/2 inch thick energy suspension body bushings to dampen it to the mount. Here's it installed.

And it looks like I will now have plenty of room for exhaust now. I used some 2" pvc to mock that up. Lol

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Looks like that will work!
Nice! |

When grinders attach! Was prepping some metal I couldn't clamp and it bit me. Looks worse than it is. Rinsed it off, a few bandaids and back to work. And yes, I had gloves on when this happened

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Ouch. Been there, done that..more than once too. Glad it wasn't too bad.

Today I bought a bunch of wire, some relays, and some odds and ends to try to get the air ride done. I messed around too much and only got the valves installed and the tank set in place. Hopefully tomorrow Ill get the compressors mounted up and do a little wiring. Going to be a simple set up. Accuair is cool and all but to me that's just way too much stuff to go wrong. Even if I was rich I'd still do a simple set up with just an few switches.
