Re: project (sweet pea)

Been getting a few P.Ms asking about (any updates)....As far as actual work on Sweet Pea....There really has not been any..Other than I got my door panels painted(silver)....At this point I am waiting on vendors....Glass,weather stripping,carpet....Pretty much the entire cab...I did send my seat out to get done.....And I just need to get a few misc Engine Pieces...(radiator,fan relays,headers.and probably a few other things I am missing.....And with over a foot of snow outside....lol it may be a while.....

Re: project (sweet pea)

Yeah.......Just put my new windshield in and rear glass....new weather stripping as well....Got my headers (not installed) fuel cell came in, balancer is in, Fuel lines and fittings Jegs does a great job....Still waiting on a 1/2 to 8a/n fitting.to get all the fuel lines done.Trans lines are ran and just waiting on a few fittings from Jegs to finish that up as well.......Still need a Radiator and a few minor pieces for it to run.... It wont be long...There is a swap meet here in a few weeks. So hopefully I will get some much needed Dynomat. Carpet and Decide on which grille I am going to run.....the 69/70 grille is growing on me...But more than likely I will do a 72.That is what she is....

I have about an 1/8th inch of clearance here...I am thinking I need to modify the passenger side engine frame mount....I am sure it will hit....I am not one to baby this thing....So I imagine that with some high revs it will hit......

I think this is where I will be mounting the tank....It will make it way easier to fill from here other than mounting it in the front...

John the inside of the bed as of now is just factory...I am going to remove the wheel tubs and use some that i seen from Jegs...Then i will have everything done in Line X...I may even do the hurculiner stuff....I have a buddy doing his...And will check his out...Sweet Pea will not see much hauling, so mainly i am just looking for appearance rather than it taking a beating....
have you seen the U-POL RAPTOR spray on DIY bed-liner. I have been looking around, and it seems to be a good product.....about $100 for a gallon and it comes with the gun.......just food for thought

Re: project (sweet pea)

nuke1 i will go out after work and get the measurements for you....For my purpose it was the only choice..as it will see the track a few times a year....I have used this style tank before its a great street/ strip unit and the price is hard to beat...
