Love how you built your innerfenderwells I may have to steal your idea if you dont mind.

[LooseCannon]

Oh man the engine compartment looks awesome!

How did you role the inner fender and what did you use for cutting?

thanks everyone....i used a 4.25" OD roller on one radius of the fender and a 3" OD roller on the other (lower) radius.....the fan shroud, i used a brake.....
i used a combo of cutting tools, one was a plasma cutter and the other was a cut-off wheel

Nice work under the hood ...

[sandking]

WOW!! Awesome build!!

Couple of questions that I may have missed:

1. What headers are you using?

2. Please explain to me the parts used for your lines to and from your power steering box and the pump. I like the braided lines.

Nice work man!!

the headers are for a 99-02 firebird/camaro........


im working on the bed, i had to raise the bed floor 4" to clear the notch.....also we're converting it to a wood floor..... started by clearancing the rear most crossmember, and raiseing it 4".....then i bent up some new angles, measures up 4" from the bed floor, made my cuts, trimmed my angle to fit, clekoed angle in place, and repeated the same process for the other side.......once that was done i started with raseing my bed mounts..... i made a simple raised mount, that happened to turn out looking like alabama......then i welded my alabama bracket in place.......thinking my alabama bracket looked to plain/square (altho i doubt this would easily be seen), i added a few curves for the other bed mount bracket, further up on the frame.....this bracket came out looking like the lockness monster head comeing outta the water (so i was happy with this one)
then i welded the lockness monster in place, then proceeded to make alabama look like lockness, so they would match......the rear tubs are in the design process, and will be more of a round design, rather then the stock 'square-ish' design..

[*Dylan]

[ERASER5]

Cool project.

makeing some progress on the bed.... its starting to look like a bed again.....since we narrowed the rear end, we had to tub it....since the dash is round and the stock tubs wouldnt match anything
( they are square-ish) we desided to do a round tub..... at first we wanted 'BIGGEST' tubs, but after makeing them 24" wide, it really subtracted from the rest of the bed....all you focused on was how wide they were, and didnt notice anything else......so they were trimmed down (16.5" wide) till they were finally 'BIG' but less of a distraction, and more of a complament to the rest of the bed.......here is the process, trial fit them in there, notch the bottom for axle clearence, trim to make it fit flush with the inner bed side, build a mounting flange, weld it on, and temperally cleco it in place.....and lastly for looks i sat the wood in there....of coarse some peices of wood will need to be specially cut/ fitted, but you kinda get the picture....sorry first pic is so fuzzzzy

Looks good D Nice work

[killer71]

sum of the wood is already warped.

Nice Update!

[Blitz]

I know I've probably asked TOO much now but any progress on the gauges? Only asking because I need to know what I'll need to do to get it to work in my fuuuuture project. If you want to PM me that's fine too. I know some of the details are still under wraps.

[68 short step]

bliitz- ill have to let hulk71 feild that ? for ya...

got the wood cut to go around the new tubs.....also got the tubs to be 'bolt on'....i drilled some holes for where the bolts will go, then made some nutplates, drilled smaller holes around mounting hole (so i could plug weld the nutplate), plug welded them in place, then grind down the welds...

[68 short step]

after the fenders were mounted, they needed some flanges to cover the edge of the wood. so i made some flanges and welded them on...

[68 short step]

after i welded the flanges on i had a little gap (between the fender and flange)..... after looking at it, it started to bug me....and i thought it would look better if it was smooth (no gap)... so i welded in the gap and smoothed it over....also note, that i rounded the sharp edges where the flanges came together...and finally the end result.

Those look great. Nice job!
