Jeff, is that a 3623S Carter? Is that what was used with Webers?

Getting rid of the CSX7000 tank I had as its 8 and starting to seep... :(
Having my friend Craig C make a tank which will then be 100% alloy eliminating the need to replace later in life.

More as it arrives.... :cool:

Lucky I had your old car here for test fitting,;)
We added a little to the tank to take advantage of all the space available.
Are you having a get together this year?

If my math is right should be around 18 to 19 gallons.

Well, I guess Jeff will have to take it for a spin after he gets it and see how far he can get before running out of gas and then we will know for sure.;)

That would be US gallons.

Not sure about the party.
Possibly as it may be the first opportunity to get connected with people again.
Looking forward to getting the tank as I hope it will be the last tank for the car.
I’ll post the install.

Might be a nice SPF upgrade.

Ok guys, a little update.
Tank was built very well and needed to be shoehorned into the car but all went well.
Tank was installed, holes cut and sending unit set. It works!
Here are pics of progress.
Started up last night.
Now it’s re-install alloy and seats.

Very nice job Jeff! Looks like Craig eke'd every last cubic inch of capacity out of it.
Often items constructed out of welded alum. alloy sheet look like 'works of art' to me....and this is no exception.
Well done, both of you!

Cheers
Glen

Jeff,

Looks great! There was not a lot of room to spare there. That extra capacity will come in handy on one trips. The weather is turning for the better.

More progress, it's a shame to have covered it up. Kudos to Craig!

Chicagowil 05-12-2020 06:01 AM

Looking really good! Did you have to "grease" it up to get to fit back in there? That was exacting dimensions.

Always meant to ask, is your car painted the old Ford "Sunlit Gold"? When I turned 16 my folks purchased a new 68 Torino GT fastback/390 in Sunlit Gold with black C stripes. It looks about the same color and its a nice memory for me! Got my first ticket in that car- 100mph + on the freeway, watching the submarine races with my girlfriend in San Francisco Bay at nite :LOL:, etc.

I would paint my car that color if my wife was not so in love with the Princess/Viking Blue.
