Sorry for the late reply. I just bought the fuel cell brackets from Summit for $31.99

Thanks. Hoping to be able to finish stockpiling soon and actually get to building.

Re: "The Relapse" 78 Chevy Stepside

Ordered some Eastwood Chassis Paint, lets see how well it works.


Mailman delivered the manifolds today and picked up a set of new head gaskets for the engine (I want to take off the heads to give it an inspection)


Funny thing I wasn't about to pay 700 for a set of headers and I've heard f-body headers work fine but the collector has to be cut off and re-welded straight. I couldn't get my new welder to work at all, figured I was out of luck and went ahead and ordered the manifold instead.








3 days later.....wouldn't you know:


By the way. Hobart customer service is top notch!! It was determined that it was a faulty gun assembly. These guys stood behind they're product, didn't hassle me at all and sent me a new one express shipping!!

I also opted against the drop member and was actually moving away from bags all together but then I photoshopped this and now I'm not sure


Sorry Ken, but these rims are too cool!

Is there any doubt now? Get the D/M ordered and be done. The wheels look great on there too.

Re: "The Relapse" 78 Chevy Stepside

You were very convincing with that last post and your avatar pokes at my pride everytime you post here.

Stay tuned guys, this build is about to take a sharp right turn.

So I sold my 87 (with the 15x10 ) but now I got enough disposable income to do some damage

Porterbuilt Dropmember and Accuair are going to be ordered this week.

Also picked up some go fast goodies:
