Building a border to go around the engine compartment to fill in the dead space between the factory lip of the fender and the inner fender that we're building.



Here's a panel we built as a fender filler piece to go between the firewall and fender lip. The dimpled holes and mesh are just dress up pieces and have a backing plate to keep water and debris out of the door jam.

Do you sell the fuel pump module mouting hardware? I plan to build the tank for my 66 c10 and would like to use the factory fuel pump that came with the ly6/6l80 I picked up. Also, what do the connections on the fuel pump module go to? I assume the large line is fuel feed, medium is tank vent, and the small is the EVAP.

Thanks,

Any machine shop should be able to make you some. We machined them up ourselves for it. With your fuel pump we could machine some for you. I'm pretty sure the big one was the feed and both others went to evap. We just kept all the plastic lines and re-bent them around to all of the factory evap equipment. They do make adapters to clip onto those lines at the fuel pump and adapt to male AN fitting as well.

Thanks!

We fabricated a piece to go across the front to cover up all the ugly in the front of these things.





Machined our own hardware to hold it down. We wanted something really streamline as there isn't much hood clearance in the area.



Made matching pieces for the hood adjusters
