Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
With the engine setup, what cam are you running? Who is doing the tuning? You could mill .030 and it would be just fine. Who will be doing the tuning? How big are you going on the camshaft? A Texas Speed 228R is a nice lopey cam that doesn't kill torque, and is easy to tune. Nice build. I'm jealous.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I plan on running the boyd tank in the rear. It's hard to tell in the pics but the tank and compressors are raised up. I'm hoping I have clearance. According to the tank dimensions I should have room.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Thanks, I plan on running a Boyd tank in the rear as well and like the way you mounted up your Accuair.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Let's just hope my measurements are close lol. I do have another inch to work with height wise. I need to order a tank soon, I want to make sure it fits before I start bending tubing for the air lines.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
It finally has cab corners. They are just tacked on but the hard part is done.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Has anyone repinned the 12 pin connector that plugs into the side of the VU4 manifold so they could run the hardlines symmetrical.
2 rear lines on the outside ports and fronts on the inside ports |

I think I can repin the connector to change the location of which ports go to which bags. I just can't figure out how to get the 12 pin connector apart. |

Good video but what you're after starts at the halfway point. It's a deutsch plug commonly used by Harley Davidson. Nice truck. You seem to be at the same place I'm at in my build. |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Started practicing bending some lines for the air management. I just need to order the correct fittings. Accuair sent me 1/4" fittings with the 3/8" VU4 manifold.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Got the front wheels today and got them mounted. Are most of you cutting the inner fenders out for clearance? I'm about 4 inches from laying the front all the way down and the tires are hitting the bottom of the inner fenders. (See pics)
20x8.5 5.25bs 255/40r20 with 1" narrow PB control arms and modular spindles which should bring the front in even more. I looked at the hazel build but I didn't see anything about Keith cutting his fenders. |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Yeah, your going to have to cut your fenders to clear the tires! What are you planning on running for inner fenders?

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I'm going to ruin the hills superslammed inner fenders. I'm just worried that i might cut too much off. I emailed them about sending me a template but haven't heard anything yet.
