Fuel stuff for the gasoline part: Aeromotive A1000, reg, filter, 16 gallon fuel cell. I acquired a nifty sealed mechanical fuel level gauge from work, had to cut it up and rework it for my application though. I will make an o-ringed aluminum bulkhead fitting for it sometime. I found a cool heat exchanger at the scrapyard that I am going to make a fuel cooler out of. It's about 5 ft long, so I will cut it down and put it under the car in the feed line running from the cell to the engine.
Before:
Reworked:
Driver side seat. Getting a Kirkey for the passenger, might have to sell the Sparco and get a Kirkey for the driver side too because it doesn't have a submarine belt hole.
Ripped the interior out in preparation for the cage. I was really tired and the heater core wouldn't come out, so it got the hammer. Turns out I had the engine side capped with clamps, came right out after I took them off. Cage is a Jegster 10 point kit. Crappy ERW mild tubing, but it was only like $250 and NHRA legal.

The first thing I said to myself about this thread was 'budget build...his budget must be more than mine!!!!' All that machine time cost most of us much $$$$. This build is VERY impressive though!
Looks extremely nice. I am tuned in and anxiously awaiting future pictures!

Nice float gauge. I know where that came from. I work with him as a coop as well and am working on some parts of my own. His work is impressive none the less. Can't beat free machine work.

Wow it amazes me how some people mechanically don't see how something works. Look at the white pluger at the bottom. Depending on the fluid level, the plunger will lower or raise and twist the dial showing you a specific liguid level. Now you also notice why I say liguid and not fuel? That's because this type of gauge will work in any liguid. As long as the pluger is less dense that the liquid it's floating in, it will float. That's todays science lessen.

Furloaf is/was just ******* around. He is literally one of the smartest people in the world. He was just being facetious.
