 :wow: Progress is happening again,  I really wish Nikki was mine.   This color combo is totally inredible and suits the Challenger Convertible very well.  Love to see more of Nikki please. :bananasmi

Ok so how am I doing this during the Packer game...? Laptop baby!!! :2thumbs: On commercials!!!!!!  :stomp:

Anyway, we got a little more done on NIKKI today. I indercoated the new floor for one. I know there are people that would say paint it!!!!!!!!!! But I got her coated and I drive her, so undercoated for now makes sense. Also we upgraded the fuel lines (and sender) to 3/8 stainless with a 1/4 return. And the requiset fuel seperator.

Fuel lines were from Inline Tube and of great quality (along with new clips, hoses and clamps). But still..... new fuel lines can be a real pain in the a$$! You still have to massage (that means tweak,bend,twist,roll,pry) to get them where they fit the best.

Were on the down hill now, so I really got to step up. My buddies got a 38 Chev Rod comin in, in two weeks so I got to giter' done. But today has really aggravated the arthitis in my neck!!! I know there are a few of yu here that can relate !!!

No problem on the shot! I figure if only one pic helps somebody here with their car it's worth the time to post it. As for the neck (arthritis) it's been a  :swear: but I just keep goin! All this underneath work is a killer. THANKS

As for tonite's episode...

We put the gas tank in, (bought on EBAY was a Spectra tank (Canadian made!) don't remember the vendor) new stainless straps and j-bolts (also ebay, dont remember the vendor on that either) but will say the heads of the j-bolts were to freakin big. So we "barrowed" the one,s off my bodyguy's RR project! We used the 3/8 sender with return 1/4 got this through Columbia (on Ebay). A new gas tank matt from Quanta along with the tank grommet. Filler neck grommet and body plugs from rosevillemoparts (mopardave). Fuel sender groung strap Year One. Fuel vent line kit (stainless) Year one. Quality and fit all good, except for the j-bolts. :grinyes:     

I also replaced the trunk floor exhaust hanger bracket braces. Got these from P&G , funny thing same price Ebay or from them BUT shipping cheaper on Ebay.

Before I forget, Stroker do you mean the shadows from the shop lights??  :dunno:
