Gas tank, trans cooler, and body back on.
Well the gas tank was easy to put on once I got it back. I just cut out some straps and put it together. I will have to pick up some rubber and put under the straps but it will do for right now. The trans cooler ended up being in a slightly strange place but it seems to work out ok the way it is mounted. I just have to attach the lines to it now unless I can come up with a better way to mount it but so far it looks like it is going to stay where it is.
Once I got the tank mounted down there wasn’t any reason left to leave the body off it so I got it sort of back on the car. The bolts holding it down are near impossible to get to now with all the extra bars and pipes everywhere now. I have a bolt or so on each corner holding it mostly together and straight but I figure it will take all day to get the rest of them in it. at least the good thing about the way it is coming together is that there will be more room inside the car with the body mounted a inch higher on the frame than it used to be. I will be working all day tomorrow just to get those stupid bolts in it. I almost want to take the floorpan out of it just to make it easier to get in the inside and hook everything up but I will probably just leave it on and not mess with it.
