Installed the front inner fenders. I am really glad I decided to paint them red.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks for all of the compliments guys! here are some clearer pictures (I didn't realize that the pictures from my iPad are so unclear)
This weekend I have been working on putting the bed together. I have decided to use the metal floor for now, and I will eventually use the wood floor down the road.

Very nice work on the gas tank.
Red inner fenders do look great. |

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Hi! Very Nice Build!!! I was wondering if your LS engine was a return type fuel system or a returnless system? I found an article on one of the Vette forums that showed how they converted the sending unit to a returnless system, here's the pictures, might help if this is what your'e gonna run.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
IDK, but here's the tank ring install:
http://transamcountry.com/community/...?topic=56613.0 I'd like to see what kinda regulator dealio they did- most guys just do the Vette filter/regulator on the frame and a short return line (like I'm fixin' to).

Unless you pulled the regulator out of the 4th gen F-body fuel sender, you dont need the Corvette regulator/filter

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
It's all good! Glad to share! I'm still on the fence about which engine to run, after I do all the machine work, buy the rotating assembly and have it balanced, and buy the necessary gaskets and valve regrind to my heads, I could buy one of those Pacific Fabrication new pull out 4.8 Vortec's with the new harness and the computer reflashed for $1750.00 !!! cost about $450 to have it freighted to my work. I'll have to think long and hard on this one!!! I got my machinist friends to make me some adapter plates for the small chevy mounts to LS1 engine mounts. guess I'll have to chew on that some more
