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.

Looking great!

jb4short · 07-17-2008, 09:18 AM

wow....there's a LOT of holes in a stock firewall

jaros44sr · 07-17-2008, 09:36 AM

Keep fillin'

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)

where were you when i was putting my front clip together? after spending hours shaving trim holes, fixing dents, primer / paint, and hours of sanding, i never noticed that my driver side fender had a bolt broke off in the bottom of the fender where it bolts to the cab.

what a PITA to do while on the truck....

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

jb4short · 07-17-2008, 06:17 PM

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.

Beer did I see somebody said there will be Beer. I tell you what that makes my plans alittle easier to make now knowing I might get a Beer out of the deal.

I am planning on being there, if everything down here works out.

I'll be there but there's no hope of this truck being there...I need to go there to shop for parts to finish it

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..............

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

I'll measure and see if a floor will fit in my FJ

msgross · 07-18-2008, 11:14 AM

cool, I might hold off on the bedsides until I get the cab done.

I also need a few other patches from you....

bkwagonss · 07-18-2008, 03:16 PM

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.
