Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe

Tom and I did see that the floater mechanism is not going to fit through the hole. Once we get back to working on the fuel tank I'll be sure to share some pictures on what we end up doing.

Thanks!

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe

Right now we are planning to use the original. If it does not work then we'll be looking to a replacement.

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe

I meant to let you know yes this one has a rear seat. Like you I have many other projects, this one I just work on Saturdays. Slow going but enjoying every minute of it.

Thanks!
