I wasn't making fun of the project - I was poking fun at ERIC and his decoding.

Trey knows I like his projects!

Makes me re-live when I was a young-un and doing this kind of stuff... but back then we didn't get much help. I think my dad just kept his mouth shut and hoped I'd bury myself... but much to his chagrin - I actually got this stuff up and running and usually was able to turn a buck and move on!

Trey --

You should be able to drop the tank fairly easily... and then get the sender out - that's the "big hole" - remember - gas FUMES are the danger... even flicking on or off of a flashlight could be enough to light 'em off - so be "respectful" when working on these!

I knew a guy that was doing his fuel lines over - laying on the ground - and using a "work light" --- D U M B

Anyway - they sell a fuel tank repair in a can at Eastwoods --- and that stuff REALLY works... the instructions will walk you through the cleaning and "coating" the tank. I have a buddy that did his 57 Nomad about 15 years ago - and it's still good as new. Normally I'm not for this type of "repair" but in this case I think it's probably a good choice.

I know Greg, I just liked your description. Because your right. Trey's got my thumbs up, I posted earlier.

Ok, I admit it....I am kind of a numbers nerd for these cars. BUT...only for curiosity sake. I'm all for cutting them up and making them better. The ONLY second gen I would NOT want cut up is the one Charlie has. That one needs to be left alone.
