My wiring harness was all messed up for some reason so i had to throw a stocker in to get it running.

its on blocks cause i have been tring to get the driveshaft made and i cant jack it up cause it simply hits the ground if i try one wheel at a time.. lol

i know its excessive but i like it.

nice work.... but id suggest you invest in some jack stands... that doesnt look too safe with the wheels sitting on cinder blocks...

Cinder blocks work perfectly fine. lol

Geez I'd love to get a ton of free part tossed my way! lol

Not sure if I like your Z or not, the paint and ride height is a bit iffy, but so far I like everything else! What kind of wheels are those?

I'd probably be more worried about welding the gas tank than the 2x4s....

thats the only way to weld a gas tank is to fill it up then weld, gasoline itself is not flamable but the vapors are so if you have a contained sealed gas tank that is full then yes you can weld it or so i've heard.

Hey, in the guy's defence, those are 4 x 4's. Welding on a full gas tank will boil the gas, gas has a low flash point, weld long enough and boom, it would make a nice bomb. Why else are you going to weld on any kind of vessel unless it has a hole, so you would have gas running out on you and your rod? I thing he's welding the frame right next to the gas tank. :-( Still not smart. I like the car, that's what we were talking about to begin with I think.

I wish everything in my s130 was as easy to reach as yours, if i wanna adjust the alternator belt I gotta jack up the car and take off the belly plate under the radiator, because power steering and AC stuff is in my way
