Yea my bad, after watching it again I noticed it was Dennis's cruizer at the bottom of the hill at the 1:33 mark.
Cool vid anyhow...old wheelin buddy of mine Blare was in there hes the dude in the blue toy truck.
update time!!
Gots lots done on the zuk now.
Built a seperate switch panel for my arb
holes drilled and polished
bought some gauges
finished all the welding of the seat bars and cleaned up and painted the floor.
pulled the dash and painted the bars on it,also rigged up an ammo box for my glove box.
hack wack chopped the back section of the body so my pane tank can just slide out the side(easier than removing it from the back)
Finally figured out an air cleaner set up for the zuk,4" 9"long aem filter
that should be plenty of air for my 4 banger hehe.
theres more......

Bought me a hydraulic ball valve to use as a rear dig brake and a line lock for short parking needs.
then built a cool lil billet holder for it.
Got most of the heater lines plumbed and installed the msd super conductore ign. wires.
next I finished up the dash.Spent most of the day yesterday building a glove box lid.
installed and open
this is what she looks like all finished up
got started on the camers systems monitor mount.
update complete :fawkdancesmiley:

Thanks guys!:beer:
Thats the plan Pete.Its nothing real fancy or high quality,one of those soccer mom backup camers deals.But ya the plan is to mount the camera so it displays the inside of the font tires on the monitor,to help me hit those lines a lil better...well see how well it works.
If I cant start getting productive instead spending so much time on al the lil details I wont be wheelin till snow flys
really fighting the urge to just start throwing **** together...I destroyed my sj410 a month ago so I got no back up wheeler now and its driving me crazy,knowing I dont have anything to wheel right now lolorangecrush1

The coolant res. was a piece of cake it came with holes already threaded in to the side of it.Just needed to make a tab for it.I also had to machine about a 1/4" off the cap for hood clearance.
I get a kick out of learning this maching stuff,so every chance I get I try to come up with a way to use the machines for building mounts and stuff hehe
I had this chunk left over from the glove box lid so I decided i would build a ps res. with it.
the raw piece
many hours later and a giant pile o chips I got this.
using the bandsaw to cut the pinching slit in the one end and to wack off the cap end on they other.I had already drilled an counter bored the 2 ends before I cut this all up.
ends have been cut
tapped me some threads
and here she is,pretty cool.Very adjustable.

Also about the PS res, talking to everyone (PSC, Howe, POS) about my issues they all say that the suction and return ports should be right next to eachother. If I were you, I would cut that AN-6 return bung off and fill the hold then drill a new port on the lower edge near the bottom lip and weld in a AN-8 bung. Then all your return lines can be 1/2" which allows for better flow back to the res. This is what I learned.. just passing on some tech.
As far as I can see this is a flawless build... I love seeing updates. I am always learning from this thread. Thank you. :awesomework:

Thats great tech.Im really glad you said somthing because I ws looking at that last night starting to figure out what lines go where.I noticed the I.d. of the return line on the toy box is quite a bit bigger thasn the I.D. on the -6 return for the res. I was concidering boring it out and just hose clamping 1/2" return line to the res.
It probably would be best to just put a bigger i.d. fitting on the res though.The problem I cant weld alluminum.I have to go find peeps that can.
Thanks.:beer:

I have the same res and had a buddy tig in a AN-8 bung where I described. If you want PM me and I could help you out with the welding. Weld bungs are about $5 at the auto part store. :awesomework:
