Default New to Lateral G

Hello all, Great site you have here nice colors and easy to use. Well here is my baby, an ongoing 4 year project. Im' still working on getting a few gremlins out try not to be to hard on me. This is my first project. I don't know if I will take on another. I have aways dreamed of having a full size hotwheels car and this is my rendition. . . well after I get the bugs worked out.

Question Thank you

Thanks for your encouraging words. I would love to just get it running consistently. I decided to use an EFI motor for its "reliability". I have had none of that as of yet. I may ask for some advice from any of you seasoned EFI motor swappers. I believe my main problem to be fuel delivery. I am using a stock tank with a sump currently and probably need to switch to a Rockvalley (intank fuel pump) type system. But at just over $1000 I am just not sure.

You should give the guys at Rick's Hot Rod Shop a call. They'll be more than happy to help you out when it comes to sorting out a new tank and fuel system. They're a sponsor here and they are currently running a special.

XCYC, Thanks for the Ricks info. I gave them a call. $1050 shipped to my door is a little to high right now. My wife has given me more grief then can be imagined over this build. Any on you guys have that problem?
