There's more done but I'm showing only the pics of the chassis so far. Once I'm past that, I'll have other stuff too.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Re: Project: Recycle

I got a little time in tonight but nothing worth pics.

To recap, I've been considering two choices for my fuel-fill change since my original 'easy-fill' option wouldn't work. Last Friday, I picked up a nice, flat, rectangular, flip open gas door. Option #1 is flush mounting a stainless filler in the floor. Option #2 is the bed (floor) mounted gas door w/the filler just below the floor.

Option #1 is more than likely the route I'll take but I needed to visualize the size, placement, & complexity of each to make the final decision....

I prefer option 2 as well. It's all up to you as to which you like best. All we can do is give our .02. If your leanin' towards option 1 then run with it. They are both nice options.

I wish the material was thicker & wouldn't require remaking most of it. I like it as the better option if this was a full blown ride.... Since it's just a 'distraction', I'll take the 'EASY' button this time around.

A little bit of time on the floor yielded a rough idea of how the flush mount set-up will look. I used what was readily available to mimic the 45° slope on the floor runners but widen out near the C/L of the cap. The steel is cut & just taped in place for observation. I fogged it w/some satin blk to get a better idea of how it flows w/the bed runner that runs the length of the floor....

looking good, we did the '67 similar to that. I liked the option #2 as well, but didnt find a fuel door at the local JY quick enough, and just took the easy way out....

Re: Project: Recycle

Boy, I missed something...I had to go back and skim through this whole thing to find out why your doing this for the filler neck. I found where you strugled with the piping from your original location in the corner. I thought that location was great. A buddy of mine did one in the corner on a '71 model that turned out nice, but I never looked at the piping or tank type.

I like how this centered location looks with the small filler. I think that getting anodized in a satin black if you use a spay in liner would make it almost disapear.

Not to bug you too much, but did you have a chance to get those measurements of the axle perches?

I have the axle installed on the chassis (on my 'table') so gettin accurate dimensions has been a challenge while working solo. My buddy stopped by the shop Wed night after dropping his daughter off but only stayed a few minutes. I asked a guy from my work to lend a hand w/it after work tonight (he owes me a favor).

Re: Project: Recycle

Well, it turned out ok. I'm not 100% pleased but I think it will suffice for this build. Keeping the corners aligned & symmetrical was much harder than anticipated. I also got the first fuel fill hole I cut out patched up while I was cutting, welding, & grinding....

Re: Project: Recycle

Looks good on the fill hole. Are you going to do a spray in bed liner or paint? I think that the liner would hide whatever you do not like...I don't see anything wrong in the pics.

Thanks for the measurements on the rear end.

Re: Project: Recycle

Scoti,...
I planned on just cutting a round hole and shoving my "homemade" adapter
up thru the bed floor (from the bottom side) and welding in place.
I made the step the same height as the bed floor rib.
Still haven't installed it,... but here's a few pics of the piece I made.

I don't have your welding skills, so I have to make do.

Similar plan here. I'll use a steel backing plate w/SS machine screws to secure the filler in place.

I actually considered doing a little from each of my choices from the previous pics (weld in a flat piece of steel across multiple floor runners beveling the edges between to match the factory & simply mount the filler in the center).

I figured if my 1st attempt didn't work out, it's simply a matter of cutting it out @ welding in the flat piece.

Re: Project: Recycle

SCOTI, we should have spent more time, as yours looks better, but the filler landed to the far right of one of the humps, and as i stated we took the EASY way out. Keith i like that adapter plate, well thought out.
