After getting the firewall put back together, I switched gears and turned my attention to the fuel system.
I found a gas tank that would fit the under-trunk space (the tank from a 71-72 Ventura) and figured out that a pair of tank floor supports that I had sitting around from an early Camaro fit the tank well with the Ventura straps. I cut off most of the Ventura filler neck and was able to join the '63 Tempest filler neck to the stump with a short piece of 2'' fuel filler hose from NAPA. It is flexible enough to stretch over the slightly larger Tempest neck. Then I sumped the tank and put her in.
Yes, the lower tail pan is on my list of things to fix...
