Nothing really to report this last week. Was too busy banging my head against the side of the F100 trying to figure out the oil pressure problem. My brother-in-law did manage to get the radiator mounts done get the last bit of the motor mount stuff prepped and get some other brackets re-welded that needed serious help. Next week we will get back on it trying to get the gas tank installed get some lines ran. We are waiting on a fuel pump and regulator. I will also probably start on the exhaust

Exhaust is done, fuel lines are ran, fuel tank is modified for 3/8 feed line and a 5/16 return. We also got the coil buckets weld it in along with coils retainer straps so they don't fall off like they used to I welded up rear ladder bar brackets and redid the mounting points so they do not come loose

frame width

just wondering what width the frame is. it looks like a model A curve in it. i am building '23 c cab truck from scratch and will build the frame too. i know if i use a sbc and a stock t frame width you can't get the stock fuel pump in it. if you put the motor high enough it will fit which i don't want to do. i want it under the hood. what i am wanting to know is, how do the front fenders mount without them sticking out further than the tires. thanks

That's funny you're the second person to ask me that in less than 24 hours. I try to be as efficient as possible that way I don't have to work constantly but sometimes that doesn't work. I also built this yesterday

We are going to stretch the Stock hood. I will not be using the side panels. It sticks out a little too far

I can remember when I was young and passionate about what I did for a living.(Being a Chef). 16-18 hour work days. 7 Days a week were the norm.
I never thought about the time as it went by quickly and I was always looking for better ways to accomplish my "List".
Your work looks great. Don't for get to take a breath now and then.(Says the wreck of an old man).

Thanks Bob oh, I feel like it's taking forever LOL and I think the owner does also. But we have the harness and everything now so we will start on that spaghetti mess here Monday I believe

i think the weight and power are going to make a new definition to the term "steering with the throttle"
