OK, now that someone pointed out something not quite right with the car, I wasn't going to say it, but I will now. It drives me crazy when I see a car like this done up "to original specs" and they go and use modern hose clamps on it, throw a cheap ass fuel filter and hang it smack dab in the middle of plain sight.

I know it's such a small thing, but jeez & cheese, take some pride and finish up all the details.
