Steve-Oh Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Like when someone copies your bay skirt design?! [emoji43] In all fairness, I originally thought I was being creative as that seems like the natural way it should flow, until I looked again at your engine bay shots and was like "Shit, that's where that idea came from." I'll rep it properly and next time I see you, you can autograph it for me [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SublimeRT Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is excellent looking. I'm guessing you made new splash shields on the sides under the frame rails there out of some thin steel or aluminum? The factory plastic ones are quite flimsy and in my case were pretty much perma-warped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory plastic ones are quite flimsy and in my case were pretty much perma-warped. Thanks, the splash shields are just sheet that I bent up. I just couldn't put that plastic crap back in after I re did the bay, it just looked like ass.

95opal Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Rich just out of curiosity how does that remote pump work?!! Electric I assume, but is there a plate that mounts where the factory pump goes or what?!?This message courtesy of crapatalk!Yes sir electric. Pics in post #446 shows the block off plate.

95opal Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Do they make that or did you do that custom?!?That's looking awesome!!!!This message courtesy of crapatalk!If your talking about the WP block off plate... i bought it. Wasnt easy to come by but they are available. I originally wanted a differnt front set up but couldnt track down what i needed so wound up going with the block off set up.

Prokiller Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 looks awesome Rich. are you going to share where you are mounting the pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95opal Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 looks awesome Rich. are you going to share where you are mounting the pump?Ryan.. plan is to mount it on the front side of the core support. Waiting for my rad to get back from my tig guy so I can continue mock up. Final resting place will be based off of ease of plumbing in the fittings. Has to be simple and neat. Pretty retarded thought considering it wont be seen... pprobably why im not done with this car yet uhggggg I suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95opal Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Now that the weather has finally brpke here in the tundra its time to get the last phase of this project underway.Yup havent opened the doors in almost 3 years.. sure hope i can remember what all that wiring is for lol. Going to finish pulling the dash and rest of the panels so I can get the gut out to the upholstery shop and get to running wire.Threw the coil in its final resting place and started running the wires for it.Plan is to get all the existing wiring finished before I add in the black box and wire up all the new goodies...not my favorite task but it has to get done.
