The price you pay to go fast

he said he can get it cheap ill see how cheap
when i was working at the parts store even with a discount
it was 8.50 a gallon we were selling it for 10.65

I like the fuel cell! I might have missed it but is that a summit fuel cell? what size? how are you planning on routing the fuel fill?

[jgh64pkup]

idk on the summit brand
i got it at a swap meet for $75
im going to put a door in the wood floor
its a 20 gal

[jgh64pkup]

heres some pics of the engine bay
im going to get the porterbuilt fender braces since i removed my inner fenderwells

[jgh64pkup]

dont you think this would be a perfect candidate for an LS / 6 speed swap

[jgh64pkup]

maybe tubbed and narrowed

[1964C10]

Thanks for the info on the tank!

[jgh64pkup]

Yeah man no problem
i got a new steering wheel
it a grant challenger with a wood ring
the neighbor is moving and he gave me that and a speaker box
here is a pic of the steering wheel
this came off of his 1966 mercury cyclone gt the P.O. painted the wood black
i sanded it down im going to stain the wood and paint the spokes SOM.
here are some pics
that is not the horn button im using the new one will be in tomorrow
i yanked the one off my dads truck to see what it would look like
the horn button i ordered is like the one at the bottom

[1964C10]

Scored a nice steering wheel! I dont get how someone can have a nice wooden wheel like that and then paint it black!

[jgh64pkup]

yeah i dont understand that either all it needs is a little TLC
my neighbor took it off and put some $h!tty looking original style steering wheel on his car that he payed an arm and a leg for.
i think im going to sell my grant signature series

[jgh64pkup]

i got it primered tonight
here are some pics

[1964C10]

FYI, I am not sure what color you are going to paint it but I put brake caliper paint on the inside of my backing plate and I had to scrape the paint from the shoe contact points, wow even with a razor blade that was tough going! So maybe for something that gets alot of "abuse" like a steering wheel that might just be the right paint. my 2 cents anyways.

[jgh64pkup]

im going with the same color as the truck
base coat, clear coat

[jgh64pkup]

Finally
i got the fuel cell mount finished
i spent another couple of hours grinding and welding to my liking
im happy with it
here are some pics
the floor is kind of messy
so dont pay attention to the floor

[joe231]

WOW I didn't realize you're only fourteen! How long have you been working on cars and trucks. You're doing a better job than some guys a lot older.

[jason65]

That just makes your accomplishments that much greater! Keep it up.

[joe231]

yeah I was thinking "you seem wise beyond your years"

you do some nice work, Hopefully you have a more experienced influence to help.......some kids your age seem to just hack everything up.....Kudos to you!!!

[jgh64pkup]
