He says that he hasnโt been able to log in at some WiFi places and suspects his laptop operating system may be too old. So if you are at OCF and see him get lots of pictures and post.

Re: Removing a gas tank from a 26-7 roadster
The Bible says one thing and has pics of a closed car. On my touring. I had to remove dash and screws and one and two screws from the stantions and four bolts from steering column. Discovered and confirmed that the dust. from dash to firewall is different. Open cars are shorter than closed cars.
