It has definitely been a lot longer and harder process than either of us anticipated! But I really love the way it has turned out. We've taken our time and done everything right and not cut any corners. It's so close now that I can smell the leaded gas and rubber burnin!! I haven't even been to a race track since 2011 so it's time lol!

I gotta ask about the fuel system ........ the Magnafuel pumps don't mind drawing ?
Not being critical , just curious.
Great looking build for sure.



Never ran a amp draw test on pump if that's your ?



Nope......electric fuel pumps like to push , as opposed to drawing fuel.
They will , but I think they work harder to do their job.
Usually , I see them mounted behind and below the tank or cell.
I am guessing there is a pick up that angles to the rear to the cell on yours ?
Or am I seeing the return plumbed into the top of the cell ?
I looked twice , and I am still not exactly sure what I saw.



The pump picks fuel up from the bottom rear of cell and pushes. The line you see going to the top of the cell is a return line from the pump.

@BigDad....

Yes I still have the Duster and the 64. Not ready to sell the 64 though. And what's all this about pulling Silverfish to the lanes??? It's a street car, we DRIVE to the lanes lol! They would look cool together though no doubt. As you know your truck is my all time favorite truck and would LOVE to own it but just can't swing it right now.

Thanks for all the kind words!
