Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Thanks Doug.
Thanks Greg Today we got all the pieces ready to go in the tank. Fuel pump, filler with cap and the sending unit. Then we made the first panel of the floor above the fuel tank.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Thanks Nik
We did a test fit of the gas tank today. After some trimming of the sway bar bracket it's tight but it fits. We pulled the tank back out and spot welded the panel above the front of the tank. The straps that will hold the tank in will mount to this panel. We also spot welded one of the side panels on.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
That tank fits like it was made for that space...oh wait, it was. Great work 65!
Did you make the panel that goes to the front (toward vehicle front) of the tank? |

We did make that panel. We just ran a bead around it to stiffen it a bit We started today making the panels that are beside the back of the tank. Then we spot welded them in. Next made the panel that goes above the gas tank. This panel will go in after the back panel. The last picture is one of the back panels

We worked on the rear sheetmetal some more today. We clamped the rear panels in place. Then we trimmed the floor panel and made some spacer blocks out of plastic. We screwed the spacers to the bottom of the floor panel and then clamped the floor in place.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Interesting configuration on the back floor section.
Can't wait to see it all together, like the direction, Im just having a hard time fully understanding the whole enchilada. Dig those beaded panels. Totally envious. |

We had short day today but we did make some gas tank straps and mounting brackets. Then since we will be moving on to the firewall soon we dug out the bare block and transmission case to use for mock up

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Sounds familiar: motor, trans, cut body to fit. That looks so cool sitting there.

To make the motor mounts we started by making bracket to bolt to the block. Next we bolted stock chevy motor mounts to the bracket. Then we bolted them to the block

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Awesome build. I know all about getting a monster motor to fit. Lot of tunnel work.
