AJ,

I got a good chuckle out of your "half welded ground down and sanded"..... You and I must be a lot alike. I can't stand just welding for 2 or 3 hours... I have to stop and partly finish.... then make a patch... then weld some...

lol i could only sit in there welding for so long before i got too bored to do anymore. the other side is welded now but i haven't ground it down yet. figured i do it when i grind the 3rd link cover.

been pretty busy so i haven't gotten a lot of time to work on the car. i did get the other muffler done so that makes 2.


and the fuel cell done.
mocked in the cage to check fitment and measure for the fill panel i needed to make.


needed to cut the stock fill hump shorter and fill it back in.


then using 3M 8115 panel bond adhesive i mounted the cage to the car. it holds the cage in as well as doubling as a seam sealer. its also welded in a few places and will also be tied to the frame and cage.


after it dried i put the cell in.


at the lowest point its 8". thats more than i had in my '67 and there has never been a clearance issue with that car.

Wow!! That look's great.Will the tank have a EFI pump in the tank or outside. Scott M.

pump inside, i'm planning on 4-6 pick ups so i don't have to put in a trap. its the same pump i had in my other car. its been in that car since '06 with zero issues so i feel really good about using it again.

worked on the car for the first time since my last update today. got the rear floor metal work done for the over axle exhaust. and also fixed a stripped out body mount nut. i'm not sure how much lead they used in these aftermarket floor pan nuts but 20ft. lbs is all it took to pull all the threads out.











then i got the exhaust notches cut out







i bent the notch covers out of 16g since thats what i have laying aournd.





then they were welded and smoothed.







over all i'm happy with them. its still going to be a pain running 3" exhaust because of the fuel cell but i'll cross that bridge later.





i also got a new smaller MOMO steering wheel and put it on to check fit. the adapter doesn't fit very well so i'll have to turn it doen in the leathe.
