I had some leaks in my one peace water line (some of my first tig welding) and it was to hard to git on and off. Fixed welding and added a hose, so now i can get it off and on, one from bottom other from top.IMG_8402.JPGIMG_8406.JPGIMG_8408.JPG
Built manifolds for inter cooler- turbo and wast-gate. The 3/4 will be on the psi side, the 1 inch will be the return.IMG_8409.JPGIMG_8410.JPG
Working slowly on pluming and pulling seats and water fall to get tank out. Going to make two tanks under top one and have to plum them up, so need to weld bungs into bottom outside of top tank. I am into cab so will put in more side protection.
working on making the door space stronger for others bumpersIMG_8417.JPGIMG_8419.JPGIMG_8422.JPG
Well have a hinged bar from this to a hinge that well be welded to front bar. will be about 25 inches off road.
Got the back bars welded and cleaned upIMG_8424.JPGIMG_8426.JPGIMG_8427.JPG
These will be the front hing, waiting for hinges for rear.
Done with barsIMG_8428.JPGIMG_8429.JPGIMG_8431.JPGIMG_8435.JPGIMG_8437.JPG
On to removing gas tank, and making two more to go under tank, have to plum all tanks together.
Had to put battery in to pump out tank, so i put oil in engine and turned it over for oil psi-- had leak at remote filter, yes hard to get at. Put new male fitting and hoses
on now all good.
Got tank out and put fittings on to go to new tanks-- because of roll cage had to cut part of bracket off to get out.IMG_8441.JPG took pump out and resealed, will keep sender.
Worked on making new tanks, cardboard patterns, hoping to rearrange parts for other side.IMG_8443.JPGIMG_8445.JPGIMG_8444.JPG
Got the two tanks done-psi test to 20-, now need to get the pluming going.IMG_8446.JPGIMG_8447.JPGIMG_8448.JPGSeven to eight gallons each.
Ok this a little bigger than the other tank, but it is TEN usable gallons! So if we look at nine gallons each gives me eighteen gallons + top tank!
Extra weight is low and just in front of rear axle.IMG_8454.JPGIMG_8455.JPGIMG_8457.JPG
Got all fittings welded on tanks and 25 PSI tested. Hope to fix tanks in and get pluming done!
Tanks are in, and now to magic pluming! Takes more fittings to do three tanks.IMG_8461.JPGIn , out vent and return. Using ptfe hose and fittings.
Had to make a header tank because the first way i was going to plume tanks did not work. IMG_8466.JPGIMG_8467.JPG
Still learning to TIG, the first tank i used heaver aluminium and MIG welded then TIG for thinner, but the TIG would not work with MIG weld-bad things in weld.
Then cut that off and used 1/8 aluminium with TIG- but the eage that was plasma cut the TIG did not like! Yes-clean-clean!
12 an houses from top tank to the two bottom tanks.IMG_8470.JPGIMG_8471.JPG
Got the fuel pump mount made and pump onIMG_8484.JPG With some other shots from under car.IMG_8472.JPGIMG_8489.JPGIMG_8476.JPGIMG_8487.JPG
Heat exchanger for air to water cooler and condenser for ac.IMG_8490.JPGIMG_8492.JPG
Mounted the water pumps for air to water coolerIMG_8494.JPG
Great build! That's 10 lbs of potatoes in a 5 lb bag!

Yes, some things like the drive line will be a lot of work to get off and on!
Nice. I have a June 8th date. I have the rearend, picking up the engine and trans tomorrow. Excited to get building.
Well after some redo's got the in and out piping done. IMG_8497.JPGIMG_8498.JPGIMG_8499.JPGIMG_8502.JPG
Now to get the filler tube and vents from tanks done.
Yes the back side looks off, but had them looking very good but hose ran into tank. Cut out with hole saw, could not weld next to heat exchanger so cut out and built up on back side then put in pipes and filled in holes!

Gas filler, i never liked the air vent-did not work! So with my two new tanks i put vents in all the tanksIMG_8506.JPG looks good but did not like angles on fittings, so cut it up and remade it.IMG_8509.JPGIMG_8510.JPG Fit's now and i have high hopes it will work!
Got the ac lines and wiring done, well check for leaks. The water lines for air to water coolers are are done and ready to check. working on last part of fuel line. So we are getting down to turbo speed , and cortex boost controller, need to run both inside cab. And one thing more to run to back, the fuel return line. Then putting car back together. Ready to get it tuned and see what we get!
Having some problems with my forgeline wheels and Michelin tires, they have very small leaks at bead. Had them to tire store and they used sealer on beads , but still leaks so called forgeline, said they had only 3 or 4 Michelin that had small rubber heirs on bead. If i send wheels and tires(bought both from forgeline) the fright is 285! They are looking for a shop in my area, well see about in the next day. Had trouble with turbo water line leak, ordered parts and will make my own.
This is what happens when you start thinking you are about to see the end! All good!

Fuel tanks and hoses good. Water hoses and cooler and heat exchanger good, have a little leak on made manifold- hope it will heal. Just need to put in fuse block for pumps, fans, working on cortex EBC boost controller.
Working away on the little things--had one fuel leak show --and had the small water leak, it was not small to fix. Put in breaker and fuse panel in back for the pumps and fans, waiting on relay- run after for water pumps and fans on heat exchanger. was sent one for delay on!
working on belt path for more belt on alternator, i am using the ford alternator and with my fans and pumps need more belt on pulley- burnt belt!
The way i was going with belt had water pump going backwards. So went with bigger alternator pulley and smaller water pump pulley, went with eight rib so if in need to go that way i can.IMG_8511.JPGIMG_8512.JPG
Got fans and pumps and AC doneIMG_8513.JPG with delayed off.
Built Gage mount into dash and closed hole i was going to put glove boxIMG_8516.JPG
Pulleys work good. After running for short time i have an oil leak at turbo oil return, will pull pan and fix. The other thing AC condenser fan spoon on shaft, new fan but i had it for long time, so need to get new one.
All leaks fixed ! Built skid pads for the door bars and inside door handlesIMG_8530.JPGIMG_8532.JPG
Air cleaners and intake pipesIMG_8519.JPG[ATTACH=CONFIG]110223[/ATTACH will build covers when i come up with a idea that does not look to bad. Had to build new mount for smaller fan for ac condenser.[ATTACH=CONFIG]110224[/ATTACH
Put heat block on intake after air coolers.IMG_8533.JPG
Will call to get engine tuned, any one want to think about HP?
IMG_8535.JPGIMG_8536.JPGIMG_8538.JPGIMG_8541.JPG
Air scoops for heat exchanger in trunk.
Air duct from scoops to in back of heat exchanger. Had to make opening to see SB100 stamp.IMG_8542.JPGIMG_8549.JPGIMG_8550.JPGIMG_8554.JPG
Air scoops are done! Am looking to get car tuned after the 23rd, then put fenders and running boards back on. Engine runs at 1000 rpm so have been able to test things and fix, but looked like a good time to make sure all was good at 8000 rpm before covering up.IMG_8555.jpgIMG_8557.jpgIMG_8560.jpgIMG_8564.jpg
When i tried The hood, engine vent hit hood bracket hit so had to remake engine vent bracket.IMG_8567.JPGIMG_8571.JPG
Setup for tuning AED on 7/8, so we will see how my setup works!
Ha Ha, if there is some changes or new things you want best get with it, the longer you wait the more things get in the way!
