im a fan of those wheels as well. what are they?

good luck on the build


*nevermind found the wheels in this thread lol

[Dclarkjr]

Glad to see this thread back in action can't wait to see what you got coming!

[Gimp]

Hope this works. Trying to use photobucket from my phone.

After 10 months since its last fire which was rough to say the least. And it sitting for an extended period of time before that she's officially alive again.
I was able to keep the Devious tank too. My new fuel pump assembly actually bottoms out properly compared to my old ebay one. Shes running a bit rough and def in need of a tune up but glad to hear her and that good old Spintech muffler again

Edit: didnt work. Ill post the first fire of the season vid in a little while

[Baggd1026]

on that devious gastank does the fuel pump sit on a plate then another plate on top of the fuel pump that screws it down? if ya get what what im sayin

[Gimp]

^^ ya i get what you mean but no. as far as i know and how i have it the assembled just shrinks down onto the large O seal then the plate goes on top of it to keep it down. However i like the way you're thinking and when i put it together i thought to myself damn this thing should really have another plate to keep it from running evap codes/leaks. The hole in the tank is a tad bigger than the the seal too so I like that idea thx dood!!
I got it from a friend and its very possible one of the plates could have been misplaced. Dont see too many of these tanks still in use today...
They're junk!! my buddy had to redo most of the welds on mine for me

[Baggd1026]

yea i was thinkn bout makin an aluminum fuel cell an using the stock fuel pump jus tryin to get some ideas..nice build btw

Hmm thanks Taylor!!

[rstadelmaier]

Gimp,

That center link is installed backwards. The heims should be towards the engine cross member similar to how stock tie rods are oriented on a stock center link.

[Gimp]

Fixed. Thanks Jordan

[Gimp]

The way i shaved em to hang low makes it so i cant even see that the pass side is there. F*ck it i got a rear view and a good enough feel for backin it up by now
Where pgh..

[rstadelmaier]

Yeah they look badass. I still have yet to tub my front. And pittsburgh pa
