Will Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Nice to see the progress! I just started trying to knock the valence panel I got with those fender back into shape - it's going to need a lot of work too! Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 great choice on the fuel cell too Thanks Ron, what EFI fuel pump did you use with your ATL cell? Did you use their in-tank 'black box' 600hp fuel pump? Nice to see the progress! I just started trying to knock the valence panel I got with those fender back into shape - it's going to need a lot of work too! Thanks Will ... these 160J valences are so thin.. I'm worried it's going to bend in half, when I try to sand it ... :frantics: Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 the 14ag plate steel is way too thin for bumper brackets, but they will work great on an un-driveable car ... :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks Ron, what EFI fuel pump did you use with your ATL cell? Did you use their in-tank 'black box' 600hp fuel pump? Thanks Will ... these 160J valences are so thin.. I'm worried it's going to bend in half, when I try to sand it ... :frantics: I used two Walbro 225s in a custom in-cell surge tank. I'm running on e85 though, so I need more juice than one could deliver. I still have the three door single pump Black Box tank that came with my cell. If you need one, I'll swing you a good deal on mine. Just PM me if you're interested. Mine Left over tank. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 the 14ag plate steel is way too thin for bumper brackets That's what I used on my B210. For as light as these style bumpers are, it'll be fine. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Marsh510 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Still looking forward to your progress indy. Picked up a 75 710 wagon recently from a friend for a good price. I had an extra 510 rear end laying around, and your build is inspiring me to go KA or I was thinking VG. You're a motivator for sure bud. Quote Link to comment
