Suffered a pretty hard personal loss that will keep me busy for probably well over a year, progress on the car is slower but still happening.

I previously painted the fuel tank in the 90s, I used a spray can material which held up surprisingly well (rust o leum professional).
I stripped it and used the same thing this time for refinish but as a basecoat, then the next day laid a couple coats of budget clear on top (finish one FC720),
and we will see how that works out.

Got the tank and custom fuel sender installed. DMT pad and grommet. I still had most of the asbestos stock pad intact and had preserved it all this time...time for an upgrade.
Former Moparts member dbdartman did the fabrication work on the fuel sender for me, decades ago. He's still out there on social media.
