Yea do that. He's a wealth of knowledge as you can see from this thread.

I'm done with your bullshit. If you want to find out just how done I am, keep it up.

I was under the impression that my statement meant that he DID know what he was doing. Not being a douche. Janderson at this point does know what he was doing.

Those fan brackets look awesome. Do you work with metal for a living? Or are you just really good with it? Either way it seems like a pretty handy skill.

I'm actually the one with all the metal working/fabrication knowledge (though I've taught Josh quite a bit). I went to school for it and currently work as a maintenance machinist.

If you haven't seen it, you should check out my build thread. Lots of fun stuff going on in there.

The quality of Andrew's work is great, I have A LOT of custom fab work on my car that either he has done for me, or we've done together.

Looks super nice man. loving the OCD!

Stealing the bedliner idea btw :)

So, I just went out and tried to start the car, no dice. What is does is just cranks very slowly (not fast like it's trying to start), with a RRRRRR-RRRRRR-RRRRRR-RRRRRR sound.

I pulled the fuel supply line off the front of the rail, and no fuel in the line or dripping out of the rail. Also pulled the return off under the manifold, no fuel dripping out and no fuel when I turned the key, so the lines aren't reversed. Not sure what else to check.

Could I be totally out of gas, and would that cause this? I know it was very low when I parked it, I drove it around to almost empty intentionally, and the fuel light IS on. Forgive me sounding like a complete tard with questions like this.

[ShowStopper]

do u hear the fuel pump kickin on?

[Jand3rson]

With the key to the first position, right? No, I don't. Neither the external or the in-tank.

If it's cranking slowly, your battery probably needs to be charged up.

[Jand3rson]

If it's cranking slowly, your battery probably needs to be charged up.

I put it on the charger this morning, dial indicator was at about half, maybe I didn't leave it on long enough. It sat for about 2 weeks. It definitely sounds like a car would when the battery isn't charged enough, but wouldn't it still be getting fuel?
