just wanted to add to Ron's: IF IT CAN NOT BE FIXED WITH BLASTING WIRE, JB WELD OR DUCT TAPE ---IT CAN NOT BE FIXED.........

Just had to try out the chassis a few weeks ago, so clamped on an Econoline bucket seat and headed up the highway on our last hot day....made it 2 miles and gas started running out the carb...blocking modern traffic...looked at it a few minutes...found a hefty rock and slammed the carburetor....it unstuck the needle valve and purred all the way home...please add rocks to the emergency list...gotta get that body finished. Cheers, Clyde
