    Yeah I was looking at that. I have the original tank I could have cleaned and sealed. I'm gonna make a list of parts and be heading to the junkyard this weekend.

    Not really, it looks like an old Navy blanket glued to the roof to me. The car is still on the trailer right now and is over my friends house. I give it a better look tomorrow when we finish stuffing a 351W into his brother's Comet.

    Frank, call it old age or CRS disease, I was informed lastnight that I'm heading down to Reynolds Silver Dollar Raceway this Saturday. They are having a All Ford drag race/car show/swap meet. How does this Friday or next weekend sound to you? I know of another yard or two not far in Griffin that might be worth a look and see that has old iron. ...or we can do both. http://www.nmraracing.com/events/event2.php
