A couple updates..

Sumped fuel tank:



Drilled out the back seat bracket and teh spare tire bracket, and cleaned up all the holes that will be welded.







Got most of the bay back down to the metal to have some welding done and get all of the filler out of there, since the car will be tracked, just going to do the bay with no filler and stitch weld the seams this time. Finished the day up loading it up on the trailer to go to the welder and get some work started.





Also, hit the bumper with the sander and then threw some 2 part epoxy over the holes to fill em up so it will be nice and smooth for the re-paint

You can run two walbro 255's in your tank... i'm running two bosch 044's. Two totally different pumps.

quick update. my custom catch can setup is done!. it mounts on 2 L shaped brackets through the firewall so it will appear that it's "floating" and the drainbacks are on the bottom of the tank so it should have a huge pressure relief.



ALL IN FAB FTW.

also got a few cool parts in. Will take a snap or two when i get home

That seems to be the going vote. I probably will. I LOVED the color. I just wasnt happy with the body lines. The car was never blocked out properly by the body shop. When I confronted them about this the reply I received was "we didnt really do much body work." Which is ridiculous for what I spent the car should have been FLAWLESS. Not to worry. It will be done, and done PERFECT this time. Everything is being re-evaluated and made sure it's just how it should be.

I even started stripped all the under coating back off the wheel wells and under the car for the re-spray
