HAHAHAHA!!!! !M!

I have American Family and pay $56 for 12 months for full coverage. But you are also required to have a second "main" vehicle. The limitations are the same as what Dan posted above, but with one more... you can't drive the car in the month of January. My insurance states it and also the collector car registration that I have also states that I can't drive it in January. Which is fine with me in Wisconsin !M!

Happy Halloween! !M!

Oooo, pop the cover off and take some pictures of the inside if you can! I want to see the destruction !M!

I'll try to answer these... -Can the internal fuel pump be used w/a carborated SBC(fuel press. decreased)? I really don't know. You may be able to swap the pump out with one made for a carb.. Maybe, contact Racetronix? -Will it allow the installation of Ferrari GTO style dual exhaust or is it too wide? I would say yes, you can run a dual exaust. -Do heat shields need to be fabbed and positioned between the mufflers and tank and between the filler tube and exhaust? It would depend on how close you run the exaust to the tank. Contact jeromio or mas280 for their take on this, since they have both installed this LS1 tank and have running cars. -What alternative tanks can I use? I want a factory looking tank that permits the filler tube to be positioned close to the stock location. One of the members here (74 5.0L Z) posted a photo of his during a thread discussing suspension (see: Sub-frame connectors and rear sway-bar clearance). His tank set-up looks like a nice clean install; I emailed him to find out what he had but got no response. Does anyone know what tank he has? Dan Juday used a small tank from a Suzuki. Also, the post that showed 74 5.0L Z's rear underbody, looks to be like he cut the spare tire well out and installed a plastic fuel cell with a sump on it (facing the front of the car??) !M!

Holy crap Rufus . Looks pretty good so far! Once both sides are completed, I wonder how much that affected the strength of the unibody? Good luck !M!

The 2002 LS1 Camaro fuel tank measurements are: 13" tall 32 1/2" wide at the front of the tank 28 1/2" wide at the rear of the tank 23" length from the front to the back of the tank Here are some more pictures of the fuel tank: Left side view of tank Rear view of tank Front view of tank Fuel tank module/fill bucket 1 Fuel tank module/fill bucket 2 To understand why I like this tank so much, please read the Racetronix link posted below. It explains the function of the plastic fill bucket. The regulator is inside the fill bucket, so since I have a fuel pressure regulator on my fuel rail, this must come off. Racetronix The weather this weekend doesn't look promising untill Sunday !M!

John, I was about to throw the well out, but you can have it. The is NO rust on it. Should be easy to cut yours out, drop mone in and weld it up. There is two spots that you need to weld up where I started the cutting with the sawzall. It's just a blades width so, nothing major. Guy, Yeah, the emissions crap is already removed. Not needed, since the car is registered up near you. I'll get some measurements and take a couple more pictures when I get back from work today. !M!

I recieved my 2002 LS1 Camaro fuel tank today! 8) So, I'm going to document the install into my '73 240Z. This fuel tank idea came from mas280 and jeromio. The stock pump will supply my Buick engine for break in. After that I'll be upgrading to a bigger pump. Reasons for doing this fuel tank install: 1. Got the tank, sending unit, fuel neck, and stock pump for $100 2. I didn't want to use a fuel cell and install it in the hatch, I wanted something underneath the car. 3. I wanted the quiet intank pump 4. It should be a pretty easy install. 5. As long as I'm cutting up the rear floor, why not relocate the battery to underneath the floor. The spare tire well took just minutes to cut out. A test fit of the tank shows that I will be able to connect the Camaro tank filler neck to the stock 240 filler tube. Afer the tank is hung, I will use the 240Z's pressboard spare tire well cover as a template for the sheet metal that will get welded inside, were the spare tire well used to be. In this piece of metal, I will cut a hole above the tank's module (sending unit/pump) and hinge a door on to it. This will make it very easy to remove the module when I change to a bigger pump (or if I have problems). Sure I can always drop the tank, but this is a lot easier. I will make a door above the battery also. Should be able to pull all this off this weekend, weather permiting LS1 Fuel tank Spare tire well before SPare tire well after !M!

Wait, there is two different styles? Never noticed. !M!

From Coming to America, "What is that, velvet?" !M!

A local board here has a guy that has some pretty sweet (and very rare) cars in his family! Check it out: Brewcitymuscle.com !M!

What fun would that be? Then you couldn't drive it. !M!

For those that want to do the swap, don't pass up a deal like this: Turbobuicks.com !M!

Damn! That bites Does your buddies storage have insurance that covers theft? !M!

There was a thing in Popular Science a while back about the worst jobs ever and one of the worst included scientists that smelled (sp?) a persons fart and rated them as to how pungent they were. I'll have to dig up that copy and post some more crappy jobs. !M!

Yeah, what he said! I wonder how much weight is on the rear wheels? !M!

Personal opinion, but NOOOOOOOOO !M!

Hahaha, I did the same thing! There was actually three shows on tonight. Hey Guy, if you should get your car painted (refering to the first episode), remember "back taping" I loved those electric bikes too! 20 miles on 14 cents! The owner of that candy orange "pimped out" Z was interviewed as well as Tim and some other guy. I liked the little preview of what's to come before it went to comercial, when that dude is reving up his V-8 Z, while hanging in his engine bay with the butter flies opening and says something like "there's nothing better than this (with a smile on his face)". You guys that haven't seen it will understand when you do see it. !M!

I take it he made it look like he had a turbo 'Vette? !M!

"It's not a job, it's an adventure" - Tim H. (Tim240Z) Awsome show! Didn't make an ass out of yourself either !M!

A safety harness makes it harder to move around inside the basket and I feel makes it more dangerous, since I got caught up in the damn thing, slipped and hit my head on the hand rail. If I fall out, oh well, it's my own fault, no one elses. Most of the tools I work with doesn't have any guards or safety equipment. They fall apart or break and hit the blade(s) or it reduces your visibility of what your cutting, making it more dangerous. Using power tools my whole life, you have a respect for what they are and I have a feel for what they can do if something binds/breaks, so I know how to react and keep myself from getting hurt. I can still count to ten on my fingers and I haven't broke any bones on the job. I use safety equipment only when I think it's just to dangerous to not use any, otherwise that stuff just gets in the way, again making it more dangerous. In some cases it costs more to set a job up for safety's sake than it would be to just get in there and get it done. When I do commercial jobs, then yes, I must have the required safety equipment. !M!

I build houses. I do everything from masonry all the way up to roofing and everything inbetween. Lately, I've been installing beveled rough-sawn cedar siding. Most of the time the biggest ladder won't even touch the tallest part of the house, so I have to use a lift. I carry my digital camera everywhere I go now, so it was in my truck. I have my sister Tara working with me now (goes to school full time too) and she thought I was nuts and grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots. The lift I was using was pretty cool. It's like a car, but you control it from the boom. Pretty fun. Well, the lift couldn't reach where it needed to, because of trees in the way, so I had the lift fully extended and I had to stand on the rail of the basket and lean over as far as I could. You have to do what you have to do to get the job done. There wasn't any other way of getting it done. I didn't think it was anything big, but she did, so I figured I would share. Oh, there is 9 turkeys that are running around the new subdivision we're doing. You can get about 10 feet away from them untill they start going mental. Have you seen a turkey fly? They look so stupid I feel like taking my .22 cal. out to the job site and picking one off. They look so tastey! I was rained out, so yes, I was bored !M!
