I bought the LARGEST FUEL CELL for my 1500hp drag truck 

Glad to be part of your journey. I remember when you had less than 50k subs and worked in the garage in your home. -Rolando

You just drilled two 3" holes right? Well why don't you use the two plate scraps that came from those holes to fill the old holes? Great job too by the way. 👍

That tank is massive! So happy to see you in your own shop. I know you are taking a risk and putting everything on the line. I always say, “I’m betting on myself”… when people question why I’m taking risks and going to more demanding jobs in my trade( I don’t like being too comfortable).

LT, I’ve been meaning to congratulate you on the new shop! I’ve been watching, but just haven’t dropped a comment til now. As for 1 hour a day on the build…I think that’s a symptom of you having your priorities set straight…family, a cash flowing shop, and then a drag truck. You’ll get there and it’ll be awesome…just pace yourself. Also, I’ll be emailing you about a project soon.

Inspirational love the shop 🙏🏽🤝

ULINES is going to be your best friend now that you are a shop owner. Do yourself a favor and get the big catalog and keep it in your toolbox you're going to need it!

As a Canadian we rust check inside those cross members then cap the ends with hockey pucks. Congrats LT 🎉

Oil changes and brake services keep the lights on!

You did it the right way LT. No hackery necessary. 👍🏾

Shes a beaut Clark! Perfect shop for the perfect project. Thanks for sharing.

That is a mighty fine tank. And it ain’t going no where. Solid construct.

Lt, maybe consider not putting in a bed floor, just do like fiber glass fenders, save some weight, and we can see the suspension work... would make some cool launch shots.... congrats on new shop... this is gonna be great!

Engine, Engine, Engine ! 😮😊 this next Sunday, Sunday, Sunday ! 🤔🙃...you, can - doooo -it ! Vroom !Vroom !

Everything's looking good!!

WHOA! We got a lift. Big Boy now 👍.

Glad to see the new shop has a red belt line on the wall like the orange one you had at the house! Lol bro paint that red line orange!! After the inside has been blown out and washed!! Keep it Tolman looking 👌 it's awesome this is working out!!

King of OEM+ glad to see your got yourself a proper workspace

Love the Sharpies as spacers for clearance on the tank! Best of luck with your new adventure too!

So happy this channel is growing!

Good luck with the shop.

Great to see you building your dreams. Keep up the great work.

I'm super excited for you man! its going to be the most stressful time for you as you build this from the ground up. stick with it tho, if you're channel is any indication of your drive then i think you got this in the bag! Well done sir, well done.

Very happy for you getting your shop. Godspeed my friend, onward & upward.

This was a perfect video. I’m planning on doing the same on my silverado when I get the motor done

I think the best part of this first video in the new shop is how much room you have to work in. My guess is that you’re enjoying it too. Raise it off the ground and get a rolling chair.

It's crazy that someone would leave all of that equipment in the shop when they left. I wish you the best, it's hard to get a successful business up and running and maintained. I bet it's like night and day going from a house garage working on the floor to a functioning shop with the right equipment...lol.

Stoked to see you in a shop like this

I have the same tank setup in my 1990 LS1 swapped truck. It has been like that for over 10 years. No problems.

LT YOUR LIVING MY DREAM BROTHER!!! BEEN A FAN FOR MANY YEARS. HOPEFULLY ILL BE BUILDING AND LIVING THE DREAM BEFORE MY TIME IS UP!!!! MUCH RESPECT!!

Look forward to seeing the work you do to your new shop. That could be a whole new series of videos for your channel.

You definitely deserve this, I'd absolutely love working with you. You've came a long way!

The dumbest thing GM did was not cap the cross member tubes which allow water ,dirt, salt rot the pipe out. I would cap them all

Hi LT, like your channel and the work you do on the trucks. Idea that I have to clear the bed/fuel tank is to place a reinforced rubber between the aluminum tank and steel frame might give you the clearance you need and keep dissimilar metals from corroding. Just an idea. Good luck with the new business venture. Jim

Your making your dream come true! Great job brother!

And the fun begins!! That is a great shop.

Congratulations on the shop ! Thanks for the continued great content. Remember to breathe if you ever feel overwhelmed with all you’ve taken on.. It’s a lot, but I think you got it brother. I believe in you.

So happy for you I’m glad to see someones hard work and discipline paying off

Love seeing you back at ‘em!!

Great to see the first video from the new shop. Congratulations!! Excited to see your growth and progress.

Loving the new shop! The builds will only get better from here

Hell yeah rock on 🤘🏽 LT

Something that would be a good idea would be to add some sort of vibration isolation between the frame and the tank. You're likely to fatigue the welded area around the mounts on the tank if you don't.

I love your new shop Lt. This is really reminding me of the ole truck tech days. Love your vids!

Nice looking shop.. keep up the good content

Very cool LT congrats on the 1st project and the 1st hire can’t wait to see how the shop progresses 👍

Finally got a shop sweet.. keep up the good work

First, good luck with getting the shop fully up and running. Secondly, the lighting is a HUGE upgrade from the home garage -- that alone has greatly improved the videos. Not to mention having all the space to really film the process in better detail (like refilling the welding wire halfway through welding. 😆 ). Looking forward to more sub-projects for the U.T.

Tuned in for the truck and now I’m here for the shop.

Congrats on the shop and business. It will a challenge !

Nice Job! I like how you work. I am a Factory style guy as well. Want everything to look as if the factory made it that way!

LT, You can use the two hole saw disks you cut out of the frame to fill the old holes in the frame.

Love the new shop. Good luck.

Totally love your channel, it has inspired me to do all my own work on my 2001 F-250.

i really like how clean and professional the work is, you can tell you really give a damn about the work you put out.

You definitely are a perfectionist, and just because it's factory doesn't mean it's the best way to do stuff and I hope you live long enough to complete the project

looking good, l just found your channel, from the l bought an abandoned shop video. your fuel tank mounts, it'd be a lot stronger, if you have metal plates, under the tank also, between the same plates you welded the bolts to, the weight would be spread between the area of the plates, and not just the area of the washers you put under those nuts.

Be sure to flush with the lid closed (closed BEFORE flushing) to minimize the smell. I guarantee it will help the bathroom stink less no matter what else you do. Just a free PSA for everybody.

Great use of music. Perfect.

I haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to do with the rear mount tank for my twin-turbo Dakota RT. But while mapping everything out I came to the conclusion that I'm going to be using straps. I thought about mounting it to the frame rails but I fear with fuel slosh and frame flex that overtime eventually the welds will fatigue and either crack or start ripping holes in the tank. Not telling you what to do just sharing my opinion of what I've also thought about doing. You do really great work man.

great video ....looks awesome nice work ..

Nice shop🎉🎉🎉🎉

Love the new shop needs some paint and coat the floor and it be like watching you working in the trucks shop lol😁

The new shop is lookin awesome and the new fuel tank looks good! Can't wait to see what next!! I did see some comments about not using the metal that was drilled out for the new tubing, can you use these to fill the old holes? Just curious and thanks for a great video LT! :)

I am so jealous.

Maybe you were planning on it but you should put a piece of rubber between the frame and the aluminum fuel cell. The dissimilar metals will corrode if you don't.

Grainger for towels & soap. Even other mechanic shop stuff.

Nice work Dude, been very interesting, love the bbc build and the new shoo is fenominal, I've been watching ya since the truck tech show, all great content, would love to visit some time

The holes you drilled for the relocation cross member, just re use what you cutout with the hole saw

That's where my good cord went to!

Glad to see fire extinguishers in the video. It would be wise to make sure they're full and functioning. Safety first....

Love my Miller 210. Always end up having to turn it down it’s so damn powerful.

I am the same I like factory looking stuff

taller nuevo muchas felisidades mi amigo saludos

nice work my man. if your gonna give the truck the same look as the orange COPO truck. put on the cowl hood 8.4L(512 if you prefer english american) turbocharged or heck get custom badge lettering in the same factory style as it came with. since you wanna keep it sleeper-ish.

That cord on the Ryob need a repair also . Congratulations on the new shop.

Funny how the littlest things make a difference eh?Right on..can't wait to see what times you get🙂

119k subs getting there

Use the hole saw scraps from the new cross member to fill the holes

Instead of patching those holes, in the frame why not use that make a filler neck? Move the factory fuel door back closer to that location. That way you retain the factory look even further. Instead of having to drill a hole in the bed and all of that. Just a thought, love the content!! Congrats on the new shop.

I want to add an extra fuel tank to that same spot on my Colorado to increase range offroad.

I've been watching LT for a long time and I think I can see from this video that he's got muscle memory from working in his last home shop. Rolled the frame in and got the lift set up but continued to bend, squat, and kneel while doing most of the work. Maybe there's a good reason that I missed in the video. What say you LT? Anyway, congratulations on your achievements and best wishes for what's in your future.

ما شاء الله ، مبروك افتتاح الورشة يا وحش 😂

Add more content by filming shop admin stuff for one day of the week and truck stuff on the other days. Just a suggestion. Keep pluggin away at it

Congratulations on the new shop. Why are you welding on the floor when you have a hoist now? Being comfortable when working is the most important thing 😊

🔥🔥🔥

You can youse the crossmember from the back of the axle for the coilover mount

Are you Calling out Puddin's Fab Shop? All those 3 point shots in a row and I've only ever seen Puddin' make one. LOL. I think a game of 1 on 1 is the only way to settle this. 😂

Awesome!!! Question you can’t use the hole slugs from the hole you cut. And transfer them to the old whole.

Im so extra with what i do also takesme a long time but it gets done right. Enjoying the builds man, still anxious for that 5.4 Navi engine build its gonna be a good one.

The stock fuel setup on many of these 8.1l's have two tanks and pumps, I know mine does. When I replaced the lines and pumps they called it an auxiliary tank. It mounts right where he just planted his, but also has the stock drivers side tank and pump. The whole system takes 38gal or so. Just for reference LT could just mount a stock fuel cell and probably end up well over 50gal of fuel. You know incase rum running is an idea, just look out for boss hog lol. Well that's also assuming RU-vid still is anywhere near the radar after a year of shop ownership. Best of luck LT. If I was local I would think about grease monkeying for you but Maine to Colorado is a huge jump. Find yourself a white board for the shop floor, it should help with foreword momentum and such. Maybe hire a secretary for the paperwork so your hands can machine the machines so to speak. Can't wait to see those solid shaft rocker spin past 7000rpm on an 8.1l. Literally no idea what to expect on the dyno from that, most people grenade them well before that yours however, I'm sure it will handle it with that stack of purpose built badass. I just hope it doesn't get back burnered.

Congratulations on your shop. I am curious, could you flare those two holes left from removing the crossmember rather than fill them? Not sure if there is enough to flare. I noticed you using some ear buds while grinding. I have tinnitus, and I am.sure using grinders and other tools with just earbuds contributed. I have sought out better ear protection, including more effective ear buds and full muffs. It has helped a lot. These days, I have Bluetooth versions of both, too. Do protect yourself. Thanks for the video.

sweet

I wish you the best. My only complaint is I wish you were closer to GA. I would like for you to work on my truck

Whole video, just about brother in law Tommy. The champ of the video!! Lol jk love all the content LT.

Congratulations Lt. Please u have the room now please make this a badass fully custom build and raffle ugly truck if u don’t wanna keep it

As a shop myself, owner hire the best service writer/ manager u can afford. Will relieve tons of stress of having to answer every phone call and waste time giving estimates! I waited 5 years to do so I was about to close up shop until I did.

box in those frame rails and im assuming your painting that chassis, such a sick build and im not even into trucks lol

Nice work. It's a shame you don't have some way to lift the chassis up so you can work on it without crawling around on the floor, lol.

I would apply to work for Lt if I lived in the Colorado. Unfortunately I live far away in Philadelphia.

Hey LT, just a suggestion but why don't you seek out some smaller companies with a small fleet of vehicles to maintain their fleets? Good Luck!
