After all the great job you have done on this beast, it is sad to see it being cut and taken apart again, but I am sure it is going to look as good as it used to be or even better..
good luck steve

The shop has cleared out the cars ahead of me and can now work full time on Penny.
New quarter and rear panel being test fitted. Next up is to pull the old tank and build a new trunk floor. Oh, and fix the passengers side rear quarter.

Steve,
Are you using NOS parts or repops? It looks like the shop has a good start on her and it won't be long to you have some driving time.

Looking good Steve. When will the article be published on the quarter replacement? I'm looking forward to the article. Any ETA on when Penny will be completed? Are you going to do an article on the new gas tank?

Update..
My new 18.5 gallon FUEL SAFE bladdered fuel cell arrived. We should have the cage done for it by tomarrow.
The cell top:
Without the top (the bladder):
From the back (cage not welded in yet) - Just barely hangs down...

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Tough to tell from the photos Steve, but by how much does that particular cell protrude above the normal trunk floor?

Less than three inches.. I didn't want the tank to hang down as much as before. If I was going to re-do it I might drop it one inch lower, but this way it will be easy to see the pretty three-link. Originally Posted by Damn True

The lower can will be powdered to match the frame, the top will be left safety red."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

So the bladder dimensions are fixed, and you can modify the dimensions (vertically) of the can?
I did not know that.True T.

They have various bladder sizes and matching cans. What you can alter is how where the flanges are located. I could have mounted flush with the trunk floor and had the tank hang down farther. I went for a more subdued look. Originally Posted by Damn True
