Re: 1978 Chevy Crew Cab Ultimate Offroad Build

I have a pretty good update for you. Its been really hot in Cali so I haven't had the will to be outside much when its 105*+.

I was running into an issue with my plastic fuel cell ruining the gas. I think that two things were happening, one water got into the tank through the filler cap and It was off gassing and turning the gas to solvent like fluid in a matter of days. I also had to completely rebuild my carb because I found that the bad gas has caused the inside of my carb fuel bowls and ports to calcify. There was bunch of calcium build up. That was a very bad and infuriating day. I love Summit Racing! I called them up and explained the situation and they gave me a full refund and paid for the returned shipping. I pleasantly surprise that took a used product that was purchased 14 months old. I order a RCI aluminum fuel cell that has so far fixed the issue. With the new cell I decided redesign the layout of the rear. Here is the new setup.






I figured out a cool color to paint the dash and love my dash even more!







I finally got to pull the bumper design out of my head and get it put together. I really like the way it turned out.
