 Good point Al, and even take it one step further by bending up a steel fuel line to eliminate most of the rubber hose.

 You beat me to the steel fuel line suggestion Carl, I was already planning that change.

That will definitely be on the to do list. Rubber hoses look...so temporary.

Al's suggestion of a metal fuel filter wasn't one I

thought of, but makes a lot of sense , that too will be put it on the to do list.

Thanks guys.

Gorgeous! Love the nod to originality, but not slavish devotion.

Reminds me of an impulsive purchase, almost 30 years ago, of a low-mileage, literally little-old-lady (one Henrietta Silliman, of Toulon, IL) '50 Caddie Series 61 coupe that I bought from a dealer in Orlando. We flew down, jumped in it, and set out for Mississauga, just a couple of days before Hurricane Andrew struck. Made it home, safely, but there were some knee-knocking moments when I realized the old vacuum wipers would move the arms, but the 40+ year old blades weren't much good at sweeping the water off.

Very nice!  The wheels and tires take me back to what I had on my 70 Cuda in high school!

Nice pic of the month... just dont make then like this any more. A lost art.. super sweet!!
