Doesn't everybody wire tie their battery cable to their aluminum fuel line?

Pretty sure something is missing here...if that Heim bolt comes out or fails, bad things are going to happen Also, ladder bars are not correctly installed in relation to ground

Guy said he built it all himself...perhaps worst of all is it's on an S10 chassis and the front track width is still waaay too narrow (like 8" inside fenders), even with 2"+ wheel spacers on both sides

Until I read the end of the posting I thought it came from one of the online classic car dealers cause it looks like one of thier pros did the work. Atleast the owner admited it was his work.

Not so much admitted, but proudly claimed it.

Wow. While looking at the pics I actually said "Good God!" out loud. I can understand tackling a project that's over your head and improvising but sometimes a little guidance is necessary. I sure hope he's open-minded and willing to listen to suggestions.

you mean you don't take advantage of the magnetic field generated by the battery cable to align all the fuel molecules in your fuel line? you're missing out on power!
