Re: Finally my own build thread!
A couple more pics of the gas tank. The top is just taped on because it moving when i was installing it. The alluminum piece attached to the tank was welded on both sides of the tank.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
wow man, incredible job on the tank. The tank itself, the mounts everything.
The baffles in the tank are great, I'm guessing the pick-up will be in the middle chamber? I know some people put a special foam in the tank to help reduce the sloshing, but the baffles are awesome, and maintenance free for all intensive purposes. I also really dig that mount for the tranny you made. Def going to be a top notch truck once it's done. Keep up the great work.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Turbo's are still up in the air but i got the v-band clamps because it fits through my exhaust holes in the frame to remove section if needed.

Do you mean what process of welding I used or what machine do i have? The gas tank was tig welded and i have a Miller Dynasty 200dx with a coolmate 3 water cooled torch setup. Thanks for the complements Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Very nice Josh. I still would like to see it in person someday. My '54 is in my garage for a while, until my finances get better. Call me when you're in Paso.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well i got a little more done. I was able to get the driverside header done but it was a long week. I originally built a "shorty" header but after i got it built i decided that i wanted long tubes and i wanted them equal length primaries. So i started over and built a new header

Re: Finally my own build thread!
A few more of the headers installed. It is kind of hard to see but you get the idea.

That header is a work of art! You should be extremely proud of it! ![]() Now be nice to the rest of us, and give up your sources for all the parts. ![]() Nate
