jonno356SC Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 man, you guys are fast. Just got back from vacation, not sure what I have posted. Finished the 904 motor and installed in car. Did the fuel tank, sanding it nearly flat and remade the straps using plumber's tape and styrene. Fed through wire snd used tiny rod for tie downs. Have cleared the metalizer, looks good. After I sand and polish, I will post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
