That fuel cell mount looks pretty stout. Are you planning on mounting the pump right there? Might be tempting for some people if you know what I mean.

Nice work:metal: I have a question. Is the tank removeable from the bottom? I can't tell from the pics if your cage is welded or bolted. If you had to service the tank the bed will have to come off. Just thinking ahead.

Re: my 64
 
yes its bolted to the frame you take all of the bolts out
drop the rear down slide the front back and its out
yes that is where the fuel pump is mounted and it should clear the roll pan

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

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

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

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

Captainfab 05-26-2009 12:07 AM

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.

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...

jgh64pkup 05-26-2009 04:14 PM

Re: my 64
 
what style of trim rings

joe231 05-26-2009 05:45 PM

Re: my 64

protrash64 05-26-2009 06:46 PM

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:

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.

jgh64pkup 05-27-2009 10:08 PM

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

I love the smell of race fuel in the morning! Or anytime of the day. That stuff is $10/gal here.
