I'm betting that Pat irons his socks. Looking awesome, as usual.

My wife does the laundry, but I might have to talk to her about ironing my socks ;-)
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all!

Pat,

Merry Christmas.

I noticed a few pictures back that you are using the Tanks, Inc fuel pump module and fuel gauge sender. I also noticed the rubber gaskets that you used to seal against the tank.

Do yourself a favor, order the cork gaskets and use aviation sealer. I had those rubber gaskets installed in my Cougar and they swelled within a month of being exposed to whatever gas was being sold in WI in June (e10?)...

Thanks for the heads up on the rubber gasket I'll look into swapping it out.
I hope you have a great holiday and new year!

Installed the II Much vent canister, starting with punching out a 2 ½” hole where there was a 1 ¾” body plug using a knockout punch tool. This is a clean way to put holes into steel panels. Then I bent a 3/8” S/S vent line running downhill to the two tank vent fittings. I step closer to starting the bodywork.
Thanks

Do you have a link to the cork gaskets?

Nope. I just called Tanks, Inc. and ordered them.

Ok this is the last of the pluming work (for now ;-) Before I put all the tubing tools away I bent up the rear brake lines. As the rear has no brake line clips I made 2 weld on S/S straps to go on the U bolts and 2 S/S clips that I drilled and taped onto one of the 4 link mounts.
Thanks
Pat

What size s/s fuel lines did you use ?

I used 1/2" s/s tubing for both the supply and the return. I stock the 1/2" tubing and fitting where I work ;-)

I put the charger on the rotisserie so I can finish the bottom and prime it. I also have a small floor repair.
Thanks

You are an artist with the tubing bender! All that experience working on yachts is showing...

I haven't been on here in months, so when I logged on today, yours was the build I was most interested in looking at. I admire your details and creativity! Your work is really awesome!!

Plenty close to the ceiling but all that matters is that it clears. Good to see the next step.
