  • Well this was a tough week. Lots of frustrations but ultimately I think we made some progress. Got some floor panels in, and at least know where we are going from here. To finish the rear seat floor.
    Learning by trial and error slows a guy down a lot !
    I appreciate any comments on how to make this better!
    Do you like Jamie’s thumbnail?
    Thanks for coming back to watch this build.

    Looking great! Definitely save yourself a headache down the road with the fuel pump. Make a door on the floor. Your future self will be grateful. On the s10, you can easily lift half the bed up and swap it. Looks like you would have to lift the whole body. The day after I finished fixing my ls swap, the pump died. Such is life 😂. Enjoying the content, thank you. 👍

    Doing well with the fabrication coming together nicely. I know I've said before but stay positive. That is the best thing to do is have a break when it's not going right. Keep em coming man. 👍 👍👌🇦🇺

    The bead rolled panels look awesome! So, one time I was building a demolition derby car and paying little attention to the gas tank that was still in the car until it somehow exploded! Went from being a flat tank under the trunk to looking like a beer keg. Nobody got hurt but several pants changes were needed lol. Be careful with that gas tank man!

    To stop buckling of your floor panels weld across the back then go one weld per side at a time then weld across the front.

    The original 37 Chassis would be good for a light weight racer build or a pickup rod.

    It can get frustrating. I've been there and sometimes I walked away for a while or said up yours to it and kept going until I beat the problem.

  • @stephenmoore8103

    I thoroughly enjoy your build, I own a 37 coupe and a 38 4 dr sdn. Have you thought about moving the gas tank to the trunk area and ditching the stock S10 tank for an aluminum tank? If you leave it where it is making an access door for future service of the fuel pump now. Sure bets dropping the tank to change a dead pump!

    • @MarekMakes
      @MarekMakes  2 місяці тому

      Yes I have considered that
      Couple reasons I did not:
      When I bought the S10 is had a reverse 4 link for the rear airbags so that space is occupied already
      Also I need the trunk area for the compressors and air tank for the airbags
