so a wee bit more progress on the POR treatment ..




and I have started to "BLOW" apart the suspension .. so I could get the frame done

.. when FINALLY .. look what shows up ..
my new fuel tank ..



it's a bolt in .. and will accept the 84-89 EFI fuel pump bracket .. (mine needs a new pressure tube ) but it's all bolt in ..

dont know if you can see in the previous pic or not .. but the pressure line on the sender is gone .. and the other pipe is rusted .. so

I had to fix .

I drilled out the old pipes , and started to manufacture my own .

The /84 holder didnt fit as "perfect" as I wanted .. so I bent the fuel pump holder , and fit .. bend and fit .. now it fits exactly where I want .. and to go with it .. new pipes .

bent up the PRESSURE pipe ..




and the return line



saudered , zinc'd and installed ..

got another little surprise today ..

I sent the flywheel out for resurfacing .. and just got it back ...




when the UPS man shows up with my new F1 Racing stage 1 organic clutch .. it's rated for 280HP .. so with the supercharger , it should be good .
