""Chudsoncoupe is in!!!""

 

haha nah those werent mine, i have a set of F-zero Blue TE's 18's. But... hey mine started before i was pulled and rolls around too!....so is it already a tie?!

 

^ you guys start off tied then... haha

 

I'm pretty pissed off at myself guys... It took me about an hour to prep for my passenger side fender roll. Cut the inside well out, and roll the inner lip as no to crease anything. And I started my roll... This side came out 300% better than the drivers side.. I'm embarrassed completely.. So i'm not sure what I'm going to do exactly about the drivers side just yet.. All I could think of was work on it more.. Or cut out the whole quarter panel and start with a used one? I dont know.. We'll see. Anyways here's it at about 90% done. 14 1/4 inches form my coilover:
in progression

 

Screw me too huh i see how "jooo guyz handlez bizznesss"

 

Wow, that's looking good.

Regarding the driver side, the good thing about metal is that you can usually keep working it even if you don't get it right the first time. I bet if you keep on it, you can get it pretty close to the passenger side. I don't think you're close to the point of needing a new quarter panel yet.

 

cuz you dont post ***** enough ahahahahhaha

dude. i just realized. YOU NEED A BUILD THREAD.

****.

we need to plan a meet. an epic one. like in the middle of the US so we can all meet up and take epic win pictures when all our cars are done... lets say we'll schedule for............... 2015? that should be right about when were all done right??

 

Aaron bro you got help me roll mines in order for me to fit these 285s in there

 

I need to go to your place. I want to roll my rears. I also want to get one of those AC compressor you got laying around.

 

Alex.. I don't think you need much of a roll.. I think we could prob pull it and you'd be legit..

Please god take one of them.. hahaha I have no idea how I ended up with 4?!!...

Just let me know brotha!!

 

lolll i would like to make one, but its hard when im not there to say what going on and describe it haha. I definitely want to have a meet i keep telling jaime and VJ that we need to!

AND MANNY my goodness that looks beatiful man.. im speechless.

 

wich fender roller did you use

 

im gonna assume eastwood or knock off of it.. i have a red knock off one that i got for like 150 bucks? worked like a charm to roll the fenders... dont think im brave enough to pull em tho..

 

A hard 3 lb Plastic sand filled mallet roller hahaha.

Just used a heat gun to heat up the inside lips for the roll.. and use the mallet for the pull.

 

you got a link where you got the gold cool wrap?

 

^ I got it from pegasus racing.com there are a couple different kinds... forgot the exact brand but there was a difference in quality and price from my reasearch.. which of-course the higher priced one was the better quality..and the route I went. But anyways.. I did some work today.

I got my AN Fuel filter fittings in today from jegs.. so Went ahead and put them on my filter with the Gas safe teflon tape just to insure a snug leak free fit.

Did a nice simple loop using some extra fuel line I got from napa. OEM sized fuel line is in fact 5/16. So i had to order a -10AN to 3/8's fitting...then use a female 3/8's to 5/16ths push on tree <-- I think it's called something else but i'm really tired so I don't feel like looking it up.. sorry. hah... you know what I'm really effing tired.. i'm just gonna post some pics and type exactly what it was I did tomorrow morning..
New fuel loop

All nice and installed. I used thermal thermal protectant on the fuel filter because metal on metal never sits good with me.. Zip ties are temporary...

Then it was finally time to put the diff back in it's home..

But first I took a handy harbor freight tools strap and secured the diff unit to my floor jack so that it wouldn't fall off the crown. This way you could maneuver it however and not worry about it crashing down on you.

Farewell for the night..pics like this always make me feel like an enthusiast..

 

hahah awesome! how are you planning on mounting the fuel filter officially? worm clamps could work with some foam btw the filter and clamp...? just an option?

 

Yea for sure man, i'm going to be using worm clamps...unless I come across something better. But I doubt it, I like worm clamps even though they get all sorts of hate haha

 

So... spent a little time working the drivers side fender today... It looks a little better.. Gonna keep at it..

 

lol, most fuel filter relocates ive seen use worm clamps...

if you figure out a design u want i might be able to fab it up for you real cheapppppp....anything i can think of still uses worm clamps lol

 

hmmm what about a p-clip? Then I could just run 2 small bolts through my sub-frame...

 

whats the diameter of the fuel filter?

 

hmmm I wanna say 2 inches.. but i could be wrong.. I'll have to measure as soon as I get home.. gimme like 30 min..
