Tell us what your using for finish on the frame, it looks great. See you plan to relocate fuel tank also, many of us would also like tips and pitfalls of that too.

I finished the frame with two coats Omni MP170 grey primer then two coats Omni MTK9700 Black.It came out great.The gas tank is pretty straight forward,bolt straps up while holding tank in place with a jack.I ran stainless tubing for the fuel line,and I am working on the relocation of the fill line to run out the left rear tail light.Yesterday we tore the front end down,and will start sanding/painting fenders and firewall soon.Take care.

Ashley has not decide what color she wants it yet,I want to paint it a light sandlewood/metalic beige color like the late model trucks.The interior is going to be a tan leather,with steelhorse leather seats,custom leather door panels,and laether covered speaker kick panels.My aunt works at a jacket factory,so she is helping us out with the leather and mom is doing the stitching,looking very sweet.I also covered some foam padding with leather to make a pad on the dash,that fits under the original pad,and goes all the way to the windshield,with holes cut for the chrome air vents,man this is a lot of work.
