Re: My project 68 with an LS1

I think waaayyyyy back in the thread it says he used a tailgate from a suburban that has a rolldown window and just used that for parts with the rear window from the 68. You would have to work all the sheetmetal to create a nice seal around the window. A Tundra would probably be a better set up but very costly. A very cool idea.

Re: My project 68 with an LS1

I like the air lines plumbed into the frame.
Great idea for a "tank".

Re: My project 68 with an LS1

Great idea about using the frame as a tank, very innovative. How are you addressing water condensation inside the frame? Do you have a drain valve installed at the low point in the frame?

I don't have valves, but I did install flush mounted plugs in the bottom of both frame rails.
