Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
I'm a white wall fan, and I actually do like that set up there. I def like seeing a fat back wheel (if you got the power to back it up) that is my take. I like seeing just a slightly higher rear end when using a fat tire.
But I think it will all depend on your final ride height and if you are gonna paint it or what color scheme you come up with. But black on black looks good and black with wide white looks good too. I'm down and personally have no idea what kinda traction you would get. Could get slippy in the rain.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
Longhair did some photo shop colors in this thread. Keep in mind, I will be going with flat paint. He could not flatten the color on the photos but it gives me some ideas.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
I love the Coker slick, looks like a Hurst "pie crust" or "cheater" slick. There is a truck from Kansas maybe that I've seen at the HAMB drags and Goodguys that runs chrome reverse wheels with whide whites and those tires on the back. It looks killer. I'm considering getting a set, but for the track only...

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
I finished boxing in the frame this weekend and finished with POR15 and a top coat of black epoxy paint. It turned out better that I thought it would. I hope to have the fuel tank mounted this weekend and start plumbing the fuel lines. The frame is flipped, upside down in these pics. I also attached a photo of the under side of the cab.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
I installed the Grand National fuel tank this weekend. I still need to weld in the cross brace and braze on the AN fittings on the fuel feed and return lines at the tank. I should have the fuel lines installed this week. Then I will put the engine and trans back in the frame, install the radiator and start plumbing all of the lines and wiring.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
Hey looks great. I'm a bit skeptical on rear tanks though. I just had my s-10 totaled as it was hit from behind, and wow was I glad there was no gas tank
back there, it bent my frame to kindom come and pushed the bed into the cab. So I'd advise on making some cross members to help protect it incase of an accident. So how much did the tank and sending unit run you?

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
I finished the fuel tank install and got everything painted. I cleaned the engine and got it back in the frame. The fuel line frame tabs should be here today so I hope to have the fuel lines ran and connected by the weekend. I sent the ECU off for a custom tune. Getting closer to starting the engine.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.
It was not too dirty to start with. I used a commercial degreaser and my pressure washer.
