Re: '62 BBW SWB Highschool ride returns

Sometime in the last three years I was robbed. The gas filler neck was there when I tore the truck apart. Now it is nowhere to be found. I found GTO parts, Impala parts, Corvair parts, even a few Model A Parts, but no gas filler neck. The tank is cleaned, and painted, I got a new hose, and a new rubber gasket, so I guess it gets a new filler neck too. I forgot to order the gasket for the sender thingy that bolts in the tank, so I needed to place an order anyhow. There was something else I needed, but I can't remember what it was. Maybe I will just wait until tomorrow to order, give me a chance to think of other things I need.

The firewall is painted, tomorrow I just need to find the 3M spray adhesive so I can put the firewall pad in. I got my carpet, jute, and door door sill plates. But they backordered the sound deadener that goes in first, so the carpet will have to wait. I was really looking forward to getting that installed so I could lay on it while I wire the dash. I even bought the speaker wire so it can get put down under the carpet.

I am so paranoid that I will break the windshield with it laying around the shop so I was thinking about installing it next. But on the other hand I think it would be easier to work inside the cab if I wait and do the windshield, and back window last. I think I'll start with the door weatherstrip next. Any suggestions?
