Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Since my fuel sending unit looked beyond rusty i decided to order a new one to install... Maybe that will fix how much the gauge acts funny at times

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

I bet you're right. Just make sure you get one with the right ohms.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Haha that would be nice, I would like some new gauges for my truck too lol I bought some a while back but in order for me to install them I would have to go buy more stuff just to get them working don't feel like spending the money.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Looks a whole lot better than anything I could do! I wish I could weld so bad! Opens up tons of possibilities. By the way, whats that trim around your door lock? I like it.

Welding isnt hard man....Go to harbor freight and pic up a 90 amp flux core welder...I think they are $109 right now.....Then just practice on stuff...Also will want a auto dimming helmet but i just started doing it so its not like I really know what im doing either...I started on my inner fender wells for practice
