Yeah, this thing kinda got ahold of me. I was powerless to quit on it. Hoping I can get some rest now that it's a running, moving wreck instead of a dead one.

Looks good. You might try an outboard motor gas tank in place of the gallon can it looks like you're using as a temporary tank. JMO

That's my normal first tank situation. I have a 6 gallon and an 18 gallon, both plastic. The squeeze ball in the line is also a plus for priming. The gallon can was hung on there quickly to replace a Jim Beam bottle that was hung in that location for first fire up. It wasn't big enough for more than one lap on my test track. I sold my outboard tank hose with it's fittings along with a '58 f600 fire truck last winter. That's how he drove it home. 150 miles, 6 gallons at a time. I went to napa, but they didn't have a made up hose and were out of the fittings too. Filming a youtube video after work today so I replaced the ugly paint thinner can with a rusty 2 gallon gas can for a better effect. Hoping to sneak in some time today working on the front clip. The blue one is from a friend in Big Fork Montana and we took it off a 1 1/2 ton. The original one has no bottoms to the fenders and the valance under the grille bars is really shot too. OK, back to work.
