Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Here's a pic of the custom tank that's going in it. The fatter end goes toward the drivers seat. The skinnier end is notched to go around my 4 link. Figure it's going to be roughly 15gallons.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Here's another pic. Baffles will be inside. I still need to figure out how I'm going to mount it, filler neck and securing the pump. I bought a piece of stainless at my local scrap yard for $40. Made a template and then went to a local shop that sheared it and bent it up for me for $40. Custom stainless tank for $80 thus far.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
I just set the bottom and side piece of the gas tank in the truck so you can see how I made it to go around the 4 link set up. Not sure if this helps you any.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Nice work on the new tank. Thanks for the pics. For the fuel pump have you looked at the Aeromotive Phantom in tank pump. Installation looks relatively easy.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Got another snow day today lol. Got out to the garage and got my transmission crossmember done. I had one in previously but the angle was off and I had no way of running exhaust.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Because I wanted it as low as possible I decied to use a couple 1/2 inch thick energy suspension body bushings to dampen it to the mount. Here's it installed.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
When grinders attach! Was prepping some metal I couldn't clamp and it bit me. Looks worse than it is. Rinsed it off, a few bandaids and back to work. And yes, I had gloves on when this happened

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Decided to mount my relays, ground block, and a 2x8 connector thing for valves under where the tank mounts. Theres a electronics store in town that sells all this stuff super cheap. I bought 8 different colors of wire to make my own valve harness. The black wires are going to go to my pressure switch and are grounded that way it will complete the relay circuit for the compressors and won't burn up.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Depends on how you hold your phone when you take the picture. If i get a bunch like that i hook it up to the computer, put the pictures on my computer and rotate as necessary. Can't do it while they are on the phone. Might be able to do it with a photo editing app

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Nice work on the air tank and compressors. Are you enclosing this area or leaving it open on the bottom?

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
I haven't decided but after putting all that wiring under the tank I'm thinking of enclosing it. I'd have to vent it someway though because those compressors get hot. Or I need to install my York and be done with it.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Nothing real exciting. Ran the air lines along the frame. Drilled and tapped some clips to keep everything in place. Then I got sick and didn't anything done. Finally got out in the garage today. Reworked the radiator mount and core support. Still have to make top radiator mounts. Painted the core support.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Me either! Lol. I just found some seats for it. They are a few hours away so hopefully next weekend I'll go pick them up. I'm down to seats, exhaust, and gas tank then I'm ready to start putting floors in. It'll basically be done at that point. I'm hoping it'll be ready for floors in the next couple of weeks. Goal is to have all but the body done by the beginning of April, if not earlier!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Got another snow day today but I got a late start. Been fighting a cold. Cleaned up the garage some and then got to work. Think I got the exhaust figured out or at least a decent start.
