Well those are hideous aren't they.

Mine would have looked a lot better. Those proportions are horrible imo.

In other news I have ordered:

Fuel cell
Fuel cell mounting kit
Wiring harness for the whole truck
Fuel filter and mounting brackets
Fuel rails
Dual 255lph fuel pump
1000cc fuel injectors

All the fuel stuff is -8 in/out

Still need to get a fpr ordered but this should keep me busy for a little while.

Fuel pressure regulator. In my case one that's boost referenced.

I made a big mistake this weekend.

I hung fenders on the truck just to see what it would look like. And I loved it.

But I can't bear the thought of covering up all the cool suspension stuff in the front. I'm probably going to continue on with the open wheel build but damn she looked good.

Are they hard to put on / off?  Can you sometimes put them on kinda like if you're going out of the house and think, I'm gonna wear a hat today?

It's not quite that simple. I'm going to be running the turbos outboard of the engine covers. That would mean exhaust would have to come up through the fender to the turbo.

Theoretically it could be done but it wouldn't be as simple as just a few quarter turn fasteners to remove them.

I never managed to get out to the garage today to work on the truck. I just felt off and laid around most of the day.

A friend of mine suggested trimming the factory fenders so that only the inner portion plus the headlight mounting area bolted to the truck with the rest removed which exposes everything.

Probably going to build that out of cardboard tomorrow just to see what it looks like.

That would at least solve my issue of how to mount the headlight pods.

Fenders. I love the look but I really don't want to cover everything. They would also be a ton of fab time to make them work well.
