Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Hi Bob;
I know this was an old post, but do you remember if the primer you used was a special engine / high temp primer, or if it was just regular metal primer?? I'm asking because I want to paint my engine but I can't find any high temp primer in the stores and I don't know if it is necessary or not ---- although I would think that it would be important to use if it was available. Thanks!! Gordon

Nice try Jon. I think we've all tried to talk him out of this whole project, and have achieved nothing for our efforts.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
are you going to have to notch the frame rails to make those manifolds work?
and great choice on the jet hot. awesome coating... i had a local place do my long tubes on the goat and couldnt be happier. looks good as new over a year later and 5 minutes after you turn off the car you can touch them... if your into that kinda thing. ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
From what I've read I will have to notch the passenger side out by about 3/4" x 2". If I can find a set of F-body manifolds then I can use the passenger side and not have to notch the frame. Either way, I don't mind cutting the frame. I've done worse!
![]() I may move my time frame up a little. I was going to wait until winter to start, but Fred just happens to have one fuel tank at 1/8 and the other at 1/4. Light enough to pull them. I'll have more money in the budget next month, 2 weeks. I can get a lot done in two weeks before I need more $$ to keep going. Just a thought, not set in stone yet.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Then again, I've been thinking about selling one of my AR-15 carbines. If I get that done, Fred would be finished $$-wise.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Bob, I wouldn't go through the trouble of pulling the tanks. Pulling the bed back is quicker.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
The sending units are under the cab. And since the truck has over 200,000 miles on it, I want to clean the tanks out real well, as well as spiff up the outsides. The bed is coming off already too since I am redoing the entire fuel system, it will give me room to get in there and sit down and mount the filters and route the hoses.
