Fuel Filter.......

This is not a daily driver, so I'm not too worried about burning. I have to assume that all the cars that used this filter did not go up in flames. I have been known to do stupid things in the past......
I've driven old mopars with the battery on the floor on the passenger side (wired through the firewall) with a five gallon gas can next to it...... fuel line from there to the carb. because there was no gas tank. (or dash for that matter)
No, not the smartest thing, but was the only way at the time. There are no rear seat belts. No anti lock brakes. No disk brakes. No computer. Etc.
It's not that I'm not worried about safety, these cars are from a different time.
We had playgrounds that had see saws / metal slides and gravel as a base.
Just trying to recreate the car to what was at the time. When it's time to be safe with the family in the car, I'll take a modern one.
Thanks for the advise as well as concerns............
