you cant see in the pictures, but there are 3/8" holes drilled into the bottom of the sides of the sump to allow fuel in and out but keeps forward and rearward sloshing from letting the pump run dry.

thanks. Got the New Vintage gauges in last week. These are pretty cool, they have white or red back lighting, peak recall and custom high/low level warnings.

Cool- I like how you've switched the dash to the (better looking, IMO) 70-78 style dash/ IP.

I like how your paint booth is the hood of a 1st gen Camaro! :rofl:

Love the build though. Such a cool car for Dad! I've had dreams of building a car for my Dad...but his dream car is a 55 Chevy. Quite a bit more expensive than a Camaro. :(

Yeah, I figure since I dont have the time or money to build my Camaro I might as well put it to some use. Fortunately for me my Dads 80 Camaro isn't exactly a pricey muscle car

Got some more done, painted and installed most of the plastic panels.
Also got the removable gas tank panel fastened to the tank for mock up.

Got the inlet tube soldered in and the pump wires run through the bulkhead. also had to alter the fuel pump sender to fit correctly into the baffle. Now I just need to find a good fuel resistant sealer to seal it all up.

You've got a grommet on those wires running through the metal, right? I'd redo that set up even if you do have a grommet on the wires. Way too risky being right there with the fuel vapors. They make bulkheads with threads on both side and with a rubber seal. That's the way you need to go about wiring the fuel pump. The ground can just connect to the fuel tank itself or run another bulkhead and run the wire to the frame near by.

I was wanting to run those bulkhead connectors for the pump wiring but I could not find anything. I even posted up a thread on here but nobody could help me find anything. If you happen to know where I could get them Id really appreciate the info. Thats really how I wanted to do this in the first place.
