I like the direction of this one.

The new tank holds 17 gallons. More than enough for me, but the time I burn that much fuel on a long trip I'm looking for a place to stop and stretch anyway! As for the wheel/tire choice, thank you. I had some nice billets on the last toy, wanted something that took less work to maintain and also a bit more classic with an old school flavor.

I m not sure, but was the original notch in the dash offset for the Shift tube?
I'm definitely a picture taker and enjoy sharing the project. I like forums like this for that reason.

Thanks, I started the project a bit over a year ago, so while this seems to be moving quickly it has taken 14 months in reality. To me it seems slow.
