So we started the rust repair. My dad is doing the work. He's pictures don't do it justice. While great at resto, he lacks in technology

that looks fantastic. How'd you talk your dad into this? Can't wait to see it. Do you think he'll be able to do any sheet metal work with your rear quarters?

Nice work! What gauge did he used for the steel sheet?

I might have a spare cork gasket for the fuel sender.

Not sure I think 12 but it was over a year ago when I had it made. I'll check before I paint it. Thanks for the offer on the gasket but I have one. 8). Did my picture show up on the form or only on Tapatalk? I down sized it
