An air grabber!!!!!!!!!!!!  How cool is that? Are you going to put the teeth on the sides of it also?

I'm thinking of a design.  It wont say "air grabber" it will say HEMI or something on it.  It will still probably have the little teeth guy on there though.

I got the floormat done.  It is some nasty tough stuff, too.  The tranny hump isnt show quality, but for what I'm using it for, its perfect.  The clutch is nice and firm.  I had to set the seat in, in order to get a feel for where to put the gas pedal, I still have to make a mount for it and the pedal sensor, then I should be done with interior wiring.   :dance

I had to heat up the shifter red hot and twist it, it was too close to the steering wheel, now its perfect.  I cant wait to be rowing my own...

Oh and one of me, too.  I just wiped the seat off, was covered in a year and a half of dust, so it is in the process of drying.  Can you say seat cover needed, lol.   :lol:

What a cool finish,  Looks like factory.  You sure will fool everyone with that bad old boy.................. :2thumbs:

Maybe for the sticker you could put "Ram Grabber" or something...........

That interior is looking great.   I also like the way you designed the scoop.  I would be proud to own a truck like that.  :2thumbs:

Thanks.

I was thinking maybe something like this for the scoop?  Cruddy picture I made, but you should get the idea anyways...

Great Idea.  That way no one would have any idea what you have under the hood unless you wanted to showoff a little.  :2thumbs:   :burnout:

I got sick of searching, waiting for people to call back, etc. So I made my own. $50 of steel later, and a half hour of welding got me this. It figures out to 23 gallons. Put a sump in for the fuel injection.

The tank look good.  Are you going to put some type of coating on the inside so it does not rust quickly?

Yeah.  The JD dealer in town uses a tank sealer and said it works great.  Theyve been using it for many years he said, and havent had any problems.  Its $30 a quart though.  He said two coats of it, and it should be fine.

WOW that primer and paint look pretty fresh!  It looks as if things are moving along great. How are you going to activate the air grabber? Will it be run from a cable or Vacuum?
