Well I like the Vette in the back. very nice car!

 

[fejus]

Very cool! I like the idea of the ATO built in!

 

[lceman225]

Dude that is an awesome job! You have mad skillz.

 

[Aldente P.]

I'm impressed!
I would have like to follow along with pics as you did it. That is a very nice job!

Great job. That looks really nice.

You may want to figure out a way to block the light to the ATO reservoir. The light may cause some wierd populations of stuff in the water.

Thanks everyone
Trigga good idea. if i build another one i might use black acrylic as the divider so light cant escape through to the ATO section.

sweet setup, but im with cheryl the vette in the back looks even sweeter.

How much does building this yourself cost roughly in materials?

 

[chrissreef]

ATO - auto top off? does this utilize a check valve?

chris PM sent

Goby_Nam - We just finished the vette, took a lil more time than the sump but well worth it :lol:

 

[Goby_Nam]

man i hope thats not your house cuz if it is and you have a work garage with lift i'd be super jelous, what is that like 65' vette

 

[Hunchback]

definentally a 65', my grandpa has the same car, and will hopefully be mine some day , very nice. What size engine do you have in that, Mark IV big-block, LT-1 350? I'm more for the car than sump, but great job on both.

 

[Perry42985]

Yeah thats our shop at the house.
The vette is a '63 Split window.
Has a new 350HO crate engine with a richmond 6 speed.
It turned out great and is way way to much fun.
