I put two full stick of weld on these damn hole and they stil leak!!! Gerrrrrrrr
Strong welds but, I can't plug it air tight, I fill it with water and it just trickles out.
Oh well guess it's new gastank time
Dammit. I guess even master mechanics screw up sometimes

Here where the one way valves will be. They will let air in he tank n not let fuel get out. Should work nicely since the roll over valves will be on their side now. Instead of on top, not ideal but it's what we have to work with.
With all the angle aluminum I had left over from trying to patch the gas tank I decided to fix the exhaust hangers. I cut two sections out of it and welded them togeather. My aluminum welding skills are solid,not great. The welds are super strong but not super pretty.
I'll keep practicing hahah

Here's the pass side. Not sure what happend... I know the car does not sit perfict or level but this exhaust sits about a inch to inch and a half lower then the driver side.
I need to read up on how to level a 4 link. Adjusting the from with the tortion bars is easy, just move the preload bolt. But the 4 link...

roll over valves on their side? if u rolled over, what would close them ?
Guess i did a bad job explaining them. The roll over valves are in the trunk floor now. They are only one way flow so the negative pressure in the tank will draw air into them and not let fuel out.
I know right! I was like wtf?! I won something ?!?

C'mon now, don't be so bashful, you're car kicks ***!
Got two new 2,000 cfm fans, pushers! To replace the pullers I have which are currently running in reverse.
Becool said yes I can drive the pullers that way but the pitch of the blades are not correct so the cfm will be ****. So we got the new pushers.
My next step, if the car still overheats while sitting still, is to put a water restrictor in the water pump housing. I’m not running a thermostat, A.) because I have no heater core so no heat for the car, B.) because if you don’t have one the car will run colder.
Bbbuutt the restrictor will will increase water velocity by decreasing volume, this gettinng the hot water out of the engine faster.
Well won’t it get through the rad faster too?
Yesss, but ever time I felt the rad when it’s over heating the top 1/4 is super hot and the rest is cold so I have room still.
Doesn’t that mean your rad is clogged?
No I don’t think so, I looked in the tanks and did not see any clogs and pulled the lower hose while running, she pushes with out a prob.
