Looking For Budget Project Car Ideas

[The Stickman]

I am talking about the fires caused by battery corrosion of fuel lines. The lines were close to the battery or ran directly under the battery. Maybe it was just in Macon, Ga they had the problem and maybe that was because of poor owner maintenance, but I was in the towing business at the time (1986-1996) and it was a regular accurance. I am sure I am overboard with the 1/2 number but hardly ever did other models have the same issue.
Sorry, I am sure you and others loved those cars, and that is cool, but thinking of them as a cool protouring project, I just don't see the masses running to Books-a-million to get the latest copy of PHR.

the fuel lines don't run under or close to the battery. The tank is dead center of the car. The battery is on the passenger side and the lines run from the tank up the driverside.
