    You will want to make a list of all the parts as you go - for maintenance or replacement or the next owner.

    Here it is - good looking tank - too wide for my app at 17" wide.

    I just installed their poly 49-51 Ford car tank to nest between the '73 frame rails on my '53 COE at 24" wide. Impressed with the quality of TANKS stuff.

    64sled, here's the latest shot i've got of the suspension. You can see the anti sway bar iv been working on. It'l need some modification but its a start. Turns out 1" DD shaft with two set screws to "pin" it wont be sufficient to handle the torque load applied to the shaft. Im getting a piece of 1" 48 spline sway bar stock and will be modifying the arms to be of a clamping configuration.

    53 COE, thanks for the tip. I do have all the receipts, but didnt have them in front of me at the time. That tank looks like it worked out well for you.

    Simplestone, not a whole lot of noteworthy updates. Been building and restoring some shop equipment lately. I finally chose the color for the build and got some parts painted. Never realized what a chore choosing the right color would be! Heres a shot of the engine.

    Thanks for the interest!
