Aftermarket TT fuel cap, drilled and tapped for a Trico air powered wiper motor (Kenworth) muffler. Also makes a good vent.

Lookin' good Ron! Keep plugging away!

 

Thank you Metalsmith Duncan for saving old cars and preserving them for the future. Your skills and several like you on the HAMB are doing awesome work for the future.
Salute.

always feel gas tanks should have roll over protection built into vent. just a thought.

 

Thanks for the comments Ryan and Jim. I'm far from a metalsmith Jim. I have just lived long enough to learn a few things

 

I agree completely, but I'm more concerned about that ancient tank splitting a seam during a crash than I am it leaking a few drops through the vent.

 

Forgot the before photo.

Piecut the inner front and rear door frame to even up gaps. Don’t care for the way 34 doors sit proud of the cowl

Spent the day fitting the left door.

Looks like the door will fit well, Ron. Good work!

 

Thanks Steve, actually fits a bit better than the right side now. It's only hanging on the upper and lower hinges though, the centre hinge still requires work.

 

Sometime you guys make me what to quit this hobby and pick up basket weaving!

...amazing craftsmanship!! Love this build.

Could only hope to find a craftsman close to me. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks Guys. Don't quit cederholm, it just takes practice and repetition. Keep banging on metal and it will come to you. 48fordnut, there are real craftsmen on this site but I'm not one of them. I've just lived long enough to learn a bit.
