Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Here are the ones I made for my 1980 car.
I see the MM's hang down 1&1/2 " and mine were 2x2 but it never presented a problem, plus I liked the price of mine.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Got the insulation off the floors today...glad that's over with. Using dry ice really did help with the chore.
Can you believe I actually found a perfect convertible trunk lid today here in town for $75 ? The only thing that could have made it any better is if it had been white instead of red hehe.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
I don't know about more fun, but I'm betting it will run further under the index than the Camaro ever has...first pass.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Building can be a love/hate thing. I love to do it but sometimes hate every second of the process. (Think hair on fire from grinder sparks...)

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
I can't count the number of times I hit my knuckles yesterday with that hammer/chisel...

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Not much of anything done this week, but I will get after it this weekend. Subframe connectors arrived today and I will begin with them tm. Someone is coming tm afternoon to repair the lift...things will move quickly then.
I've been getting great tips/advice for this car and it is much appreciated. I have made one change which was told to me as not needed...a fuel tank swap. I want to use the factory fuel system in the car to include the fuel tank as well as the fuel lines instead of the usual fuel cell in the trunk along with the associated -AN lines/fittings. I was advised the factory tank/lines along with a upgraded pump was all that was needed, but I spied this tank with internal baffling and could not get it out of my head so I have it on hand. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131328550204...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Supposedly it will accept a pump such as this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/181125073517...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I don't know how these pumps are supposed to snap-in yet...do not have one in hand atm. Seems to me all I need do is figure out how to add a fitting in the tank somewhere for the factory return line. Any ideas I am all ears at this point.
