You going to tint the glass or not worried about it

 

[Twisty]

Nah, not going to bother tinting it. Dunno why, but I prefer clear glass on old school classic cars.

 

[tonka8110]

Yeah fair enough, yet again your build is top class!!

Had the opportunity to see this truck yesterday, and it looks bigger and better in person. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

[Twisty]

Cheers again guys.

Things have been still slowly progressing.

I drew up at 100 litre fuel tank and had it cut and folded by the guys that have done all the other sheet metal for the truck so far.

Then had Simo and Simo&Son tig weld it up.

After that I gave it a polish. Turned out awesome.

 

[Twisty]

To match the shininess of the tank inside I picked up a stainless steel marine deck filler from Whitworths Marine.

Auxiliary fuel filter fitted. All new brake, clutch, and power steering lines done, filled, bled, and working with no leaks.

Custom radiator, shroud, and SPAL thermo fan fitted with a stainless overflow bottle. Fitted to the top tank of the radiator is a sensor for a aftermarket water temp gauge and a temperature switch to control the thermo fan.

Just need to finish up the intake plumbing to the VS V8 airbox and mount and plumb the ProVent 200 catch can and it's finally time to take it for a drive.

 

[tonka8110]

So I'm guessing no blower or heater tap, were you running an aftermarket ac or something? I can't remember ....and is the EDIC missing/eliminated ? Or just not got that far

 

[ozcrusier]

Nice build mate your getting it sorted now.
