Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Got some more welding done today and started patching up holes in the firewall
Also got the new tank in from Doc's Kustom Tank http://www.docskustom.com. HUGE THANKS to Doc for all his help. I would HIGHLY recommend Doc to anyone dong a build. This is a between the rails tank with an in tank Walboro pump that will be fed through an Aeromotive regulator. Hope to get it mounted tomorrow and start measuring out some fuel lines.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

BTW, you have a broken bolt to mount the cowl down on the D/S, now would be a good time to fix it(before paint)

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Happiness is....: finding out your 40 year old door is actually rust free
no more holes in the top of the dash: just two holes in the firewall |

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Jim; btw...I just bought $300.00 in filler, paper, tape, spreaders, blocks, etc. Getting ready to let the dust start flying- you won't want to miss out.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
It's easier to test fit the parts if the truck is there, . Plus, if you get bored you can always start working on it...............

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
That'll be the only way for me to get Tim and Mike to help out. We could do an "Overhaulin" episode like they did at SEMA; and I know you can get a MAC flight up here

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Hey Jon, I just wanted to say thanks for showing me around last week and letting me take a close-up look at the truck. The visit and this build thread gave me inspiration to get working on my truck again.
I started cutting out my old floor and the other rusted pieces. That lower a-pillar area is a complicated little place. Everything seems to meet there. Barry
