Update: Got real lucky (I think) and found a restored Gas Tank (using a POR 15 type system) with sender including neck and vapor tube for $125 ... but it was 4 hours away so I put a call on FB if anyone I knew was going through Columbus Oh to help me by picking up the tank ... I would treat them to a great Italian meal.

Less than 36 hours later I receive a call from a wonderful young lady I pastor at our church who is heading home from Northern Virginia and would pass right by the body shop who was selling the tank! She picked it up at 7:30 tonight and is delivering it to my house in about 20 minutes. Score.

Bigger Update: Just purchased a '66 Bonneville Coupe ... running complete car ... which includes 2 mint rechromed bumpers all packaged up! It comes with 2 mint qtrs. from Arizona in a box. NOS taillight lenses and bezels ... boxes of NOS/REPOP interior stuff ... bucket seats from a '65 ... complete new break lines from inline tube ... extra a/c compresser mint condition and a/c brackets ... boatload of extra parts in mint condition ... he just wanted out and I could use some of the stuff. I'll be selling a lot of parts when I see them. He has extra sets of molding in mint condition ... headlight bezels mint ... extra grills in excellent condition ... serious boat load of parts and a complete running car to boot! Picking it up Monday and driving it back to Michigan.

I should now have every part I need for my car. All that is left is to finish taking mine apart ... sandblast ... and begin putting it together again! Seems simple enough ... LOL

My wife is ready to hit my head with a frying pan ... but I know for the price I paid I did REAL WELL.

Oh well. Tomorrow I'll be working all day on the car.
