49 merc update

If you are gonna use a Mustang tank,get the larger,20gal one. Mine has the 65-66 tank and it's only 13. I'm gonna change mine out. There's lots of room for the 20 gal one.

 

i saw a merc gas door on the highway awhile back looked like it was smashed alittle lolol

 

Great progress!

 

looks good

 

make sure you get a usa or canada made tank, the china ones are crap!!!

 

Thanks guys,will do on the tank. Hey Mick,already got rid of the dash

 

Finally got the floor done,and a little color shot on for the Stray Kat 500Next is to get her runnin,then off for glass.Salina or bust!!
