I got a good chuckle out of your "half welded ground down and sanded"..... You and I must be a lot alike. I can't stand just welding for 2 or 3 hours... I have to stop and partly finish.... then make a patch... then weld some... :cheers:

lol i could only sit in there welding for so long before i got too bored to do anymore. the other side is welded now but i haven't ground it down yet. figured i do it when i grind the 3rd link cover.

been pretty busy so i haven't gotten a lot of time to work on the car. i did get the other muffler done so that makes 2.

and the fuel cell done.
mocked in the cage to check fitment and measure for the fill panel i needed to make.

needed to cut the stock fill hump shorter and fill it back in.

then using 3M 8115 panel bond adhesive i mounted the cage to the car. it holds the cage in as well as doubling as a seam sealer. its also welded in a few places and will also be tied to the frame and cage.

after it dried i put the cell in.

at the lowest point its 8". thats more than i had in my '67 and there has never been a clearance issue with that car.

Wow!! That look's great.Will the tank have a EFI pump in the tank or outside.:thumbsup: Scott M.

CamaroAJ 04-22-2011 01:35 PM

pump inside, i'm planning on 4-6 pick ups so i don't have to put in a trap. its the same pump i had in my other car. its been in that car since '06 with zero issues so i feel really good about using it again.

lots of welding and grinding all day. it sucked but now i have to grind the bottom which will suck even more. i might just wait on that until i get it on a rotisserie.

greg, i finished grinding and smoothing the other side.:lol:

coolwelder62 04-27-2011 05:27 AM

I've been following your build for a while now. This is going to be one bad car, it looks awesome.

CamaroAJ 04-27-2011 06:26 PM

thanks guys, looking forward to driving it more than anything.

bonecrrusher 04-27-2011 06:35 PM

Where are the mufflers going to sit?

CamaroAJ 04-27-2011 07:05 PM

not sure yet. i want to try and put them on either side of the fuel cell. if not then they do fit in the stock location (already checked fitment)
