    Boy, I wish I'd bought some stock in the Acme Rivet Company before you started this build! Just kidding, you are doing a great job! What are your plans for your gas filler?

    I will have to wait for the motor to be in to answer that one but that's the FUN of it all when your building a HOT ROD.

    Plans are to have a filler on the roof and that will have to be after the top comes down.

    Very nice work on the floor. I highly doubt you will have a problem with your chop after seeing the detail on your floor :).

    That surprises me. Everything else is well planned out including the notch for the brake pedal. A gas pedal is just as essential and should be in a position to easily use. At this time it looks as though it'll end up being in an awkward location. Other than that as I said Nice Work

    I totally agree with you space is the enemy in this case. Will have to go on top of trans cover.
