You’re a brave soul Chris, but glad to see your classy wheels aren’t on a garage queen! What a cool lookin’ ride you have. I looked up your profile and got another shot of it.

Can’t seem to get the gas tank to slip under the dash in my 26 roadster. Bought this as a project and am finally getting it back together.
