The red c10 was for a local tattoo guy ,he does some bad ass stuff, Mr Lucas Ford, and he builds some badass tattoo machines, check him out on IG. We can get him to do a custom build for ya.

Allright , I scrapped the existing fuel cell and mount and ordered a Boyd's tank.

Re: Project: Tall Grass

Well I jumped aboard the Boyd's welding fuel cell train.

I'm sure glad I did. Fits awesome.

I had to relocate the last crossmember , to clear the watts link mount. No biggy.
Gotta grab some hardware tomorrow and get this thing permanently mounted.

Re: Project: Tall Grass

My small victory for the day, cleaned up the garage,
( gotta 83 swb to put a ride tech 4 link, bags, and accuair in)

And got this sucker bolted down. Sure drill some holes and bolt it in. Not this time.

I ended up welding nuts to the bottom of the top frame rail . None the less it's in , and looks rad. A trip to the bolt store and the haste shop for some fittings and ill have the fuel pump mounted tommarow!

Re: Project: Tall Grass

I was doing so well, actually making progress,
.BUT side tracked again,

Another local saw my 72 , liked how it sat , and insisted I bag his 83 short box.
So I did, installed a ridetech air bar kit out back, with my own plates/ cups and slam 7's and spindles up front. And Accuiar for a solid setup.



Fast forward One day, MY 64 hits the road!!!!!!!!!! First time in 2.5 years !!



Unfortunately it was a passenger, on its way to our newly constructed home.



Where it has hijacked momma s garage until I can get started in the second garage in spring,

My tools and the 64 are finally in he same spot with no distractions....

Updates, real ones to come ,

Re: Project: Tall Grass

Who's up for some scrappy cell phone pics??

I managed to get the holley Hp125 fuel pump mounted. And plumbed the line from the tank to pump. -8 in with a filter, and then -6 to the carb. Which I'm working on now.








I also managed to get the starter bolted in , and the rear 4 link bars dialed and torqued.

Hopefully bang this fuel system out, so I can wrap up the brakes, and move onto wiring.



Figured I'd give this " organization " thing a try, so far so good , the list looks big but the saying goes , you eat an elephant one bite at a time.... Lol

Looking good Mr.
I've been thinking about writing out a "to do" list myself but can't decide between chalkboard or whiteboard. How did you choose?
