What I meant was that someone might help themself to your pump, but it sounds like you'll have it behind a roll pan.

Re: my 64
 

no one around here usually is like that
we left the shop open all night one night and no stole anything

Re: my 64
 

alright what do you think black or sunburst orange on the wheels
these the other rear tires i have for it (besides the et streets)
i painted the little bowtie in the middle of the center cap sunburst orange
i also changed the exhaust tips because i cant fabricate worth a $hit and the old ones didnt match

Re: my 64
 

Cool! Looking good keep up the good work! :metal:

Re: my 64
 

I say go orange on the wheels if you are going to run trim rings, and keep them black if not...
Looking good!

Re: my 64
 

I would say orange wheels with the center cap just like you have it, and trim rings. Orange without trim rings might look good too.....just not sure on that.

Re: my 64
 

thanks
i was thinking no trim rings with the orange do you think it will look better with trim rings
and im keeping the black center caps any way i go with the wheels

Re: my 64
 

I think the trim rings with the orange would just kinda look right...

Re: my 64
 

what style of trim rings

Re: my 64
 

how about some like these?http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...3&d=1231953913

Re: my 64
 

i have a perfect set(no dings or dents) but they are rusted pretty bad what could i do about that

Re: my 64
 

Im going to disagree and say the black on the wheels looks tough to me....that burnout vid was lookin' a little scary before it cut out!!!!:lol::metal:

Re: my 64
 

DO YOU WANNA SEE ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!
yeah it was scary as hell i got about 4 inches from the wall
ill try again once i get roll control
i tried to tell my dad i needed to put the radials on it
he got it goin pretty good but missed second and it grabed

linky

Re: my 64

i think i need some fenderwells too
after the burnouts i was washing the rubber off the cab

Re: my 64
 

Yeah, put in some fenderwells as you dont want a rock chip in the back window.;)

Re: my 64
 

Arent electic fuel pumps pushers? If so,that one looks a little high to receive fuel to push on to the front.I guess its working since your driving it,might have problems when the cell is closer to empty. I could also be mistaken,in which case,,,,carry on.

Re: my 64
 

it just has to be close enough to the tank for it to pick up if it is too far away then it will have trouble
i got some bad gas from wal mart so im getting my neighbor to pick me up some race gas

Re: my 64
 

Re: my 64
 

:agree:

The price you pay to go fast :metal:

Re: my 64
 

he said he can get it cheap ill see how cheap
when i was working at the parts store even with a discount
it was 8.50 a gallon we were selling it for 10.65

Re: my 64
 

heres some pics of the driver side door

Re: my 64
 

I like the fuel cell! I might have missed it but is that a summit fuel cell? what size? how are you planning on routing the fuel fill?

Re: my 64
 

idk on the summit brand
i got it at a swap meet for $75
im going to put a door in the wood floor
its a 20 gal

Re: my 64
 

heres some pics of the engine bay
im going to get the porterbuilt fender braces since i removed my inner fenderwells

Re: my 64
 

dont you think this would be a perfect candidate for an LS / 6 speed swap

Re: my 64
 

maybe tubbed and narrowed

Re: my 64
 

Thanks for the info on the tank!

Re: my 64
 

Yeah man no problem
i got a new steering wheel
it a grant challenger with a wood ring
the neighbor is moving and he gave me that and a speaker box
here is a pic of the steering wheel
this came off of his 1966 mercury cyclone gt the P.O. painted the wood black
i sanded it down im going to stain the wood and paint the spokes SOM.
here are some pics
that is not the horn button im using the new one will be in tomorrow
i yanked the one off my dads truck to see what it would look like
the horn button i ordered is like the one at the bottom

Re: my 64
 

Scored a nice steering wheel! I dont get how someone can have a nice wooden wheel like that and then paint it black!

Re: my 64
 

yeah i dont understand that either all it needs is a little TLC
my neighbor took it off and put some $h!tty looking original style steering wheel on his car that he payed an arm and a leg for.
i think im going to sell my grant signature series

Re: my 64
 

i got it primered tonight
here are some pics

Re: my 64
 

FYI, I am not sure what color you are going to paint it but I put brake caliper paint on the inside of my backing plate and I had to scrape the paint from the shoe contact points, wow even with a razor blade that was tough going! So maybe for something that gets alot of "abuse" like a steering wheel that might just be the right paint. my 2 cents anyways.

Re: my 64
 

im going with the same color as the truck
base coat, clear coat

Re: my 64
 

Finally
i got the fuel cell mount finished
i spent another couple of hours grinding and welding to my liking
im happy with it
here are some pics
the floor is kind of messy
so dont pay attention to the floor

Re: my 64
 

That looks good Gage!! nice work!!

Re: my 64
 

thanks

Re: my 64
 

Congrats on getting something done. It looks great.:metal:

Re: my 64
 

That's looking good.....I don't see any mess on the floor....


WOW I didn't realize you're only fourteen! How long have you been working on cars and trucks. You're doing a better job than some guys a lot older.
