Does your fuel pressure regulator have a vacuum line? If that hooked up and working?

Did it work fine when first complete and then break or has it done this all along since it was new?

my buddy said no vacuum on the regulator. Car seemed fine when I got it, I drove it for a few days straight and my daily was in the shop.

Question

Do you have a vent hooked up to the tank (like a II Much or Finch style setup)?

Could be a venting issue. Try a drive around the block without the gas cap on it.

Did that at the recommendation of Rick's Tanks, issue still happened. I am also using a stock '55 gas cap. Rick's said that was fine.

I would try and see what the fuel pressure is doing when it happens. Maybe you have a pump going out.
