Nice car!
Where did you get the tank? I am thinking about getting one for my 70 500. Vans Auto in WI has tanks for $120 plus s/h. Does yours have two tank vents? I took mine out and my manual does not show which vent line goes where. Can you help me? I have two vents on my tank just the the right of the sending unit. On the inside of the tank, one goes all the way to the rear of the tank and the other ends just inside the tank. On the chassis, one vent tube goes up to the shock mount brace and the other to the trunk. which is which?
Thanks.

Thanks - the caulking tube was an act of desperation. The car had an appointment with the muffler shop and my fill tube had not arrived yet. I call it my "red neck" gas cap!

great job on the resto

Very nice car!

Thanks. I feel like a "rookie" after looking at your work. Some day I'd like to do a '68 Cuda, retro Sox & Martin style, but street legal.

You definitely have nothing to be ashamed about! Your car looks great!
I have a philosophy or saying: " there is always somebody better". And there are plenty of people better than me!

A '68 Cuda, retro Sox & Martin style, but street legal. That would be cool!

I have a guy with a 68 Cuda, that he wants me to restore, but he's about a year off yet, maybe next summer. I want to get my hands on that!

Keep on pluggin!
