68' Valiant 4 door

so i finally fixed the leaking gas tank. gave up on the stock lock ring and ordered one from DTM. this thing is nice. stainless, a little thicker than the one i removed, and the raised portion (castles?) that are supposed to fit the wrench, are spot on with this one. even then i was having trouble getting it locked down

ended up making a tool to help drive the locks under the tabs better.

also just about finished swapping in the 8 3/4". once that's all in i'll be able to measure for wheels. all ready decided on 18's but not sure how wide i can go or what offset until then.
