Gracias!Nice like the look!
I really like this, and can't wait to see the finished product. If someone told me this was a Brazilian, or Australian Factory model, and I didn't know better, I'd believe it!More brake bleeding, getting better. Drove to home and back to shop this morning

Thanks Johnny. Body paint and interior sure seems far off, gotta keep pluggin away!I really like this, and can't wait to see the finished product. If someone told me this was a Brazilian, or Australian Factory model, and I didn't know better, I'd believe it!
i wondered that, it obviously won't have a spare in there. plus the filler 'nipple' could've been right at the top of the tank side then too, it looks like you won't be able to completely fill the tank as it is.Just curious why you didn’t cut the trunk floor and drop the bottom of the cell down to the bottom of the spare tire well?
You're going to laugh. I like the look of the car from the rear with a full view of the diff, tires etc. Anything hanging down was in the way.Just curious why you didn’t cut the trunk floor and drop the bottom of the cell down to the bottom of the spare tire well?
Yep, there's a 100 ideas that ran through my head. The main goal at this point in time is to get it back on the road so I can continue to work any bugs out. I don't plan on long cruises so a spare and trunk space is not a priority, at least now. If it becomes a priority in the future, I'll make changes.i wondered that, it obviously won't have a spare in there. plus the filler 'nipple' could've been right at the top of the tank side then too, it looks like you won't be able to completely fill the tank as it is.
also i'm sure someone would love to have that nice spare wheel well and you could've welded in a recess to properly fit the new tank while also keeping some useable trunk space.
neil.
Well, that’s a valid reason. That said, I think I personally would’ve still dropped it down as low as possible without hanging out under the rear bumper. Even 2-3” would’ve helped with the filler tube having more slope.You're going to laugh.

Thanks Matt, as it turns out fuel flow in at the pump is a pain even with the check valve out so I used the tank top cap, I'll put the check valve back in tomorrow. Sure was fun to have it on the road for a bit this morning.You make a decent right turn with that tank like that and check valve out, and fuel is gonna spray out from under that fuel cap
Agreed!Quick squint it looks much like a 70 dart
brought the Cuda home for the weekend. Burgers and hot laps for my patient family. Good times.
