          I pulled the fuel lines and rear brake line that ran up to the engine bay on Friday. I have decided to refresh all gas lines while I am at it. More on that later in this update.

          Installed all of the new parts on the steering column Sunday:

          Yesterday I pulled the gas tank....yes I have officially lost my mind
          20160509123258zpscerofq9f.jpg

          I will be cleaning the tank up, replacing all of the fuel lines, and cleaning up the underside of the car where the tank has been. I had a few fasteners snap under the car which has me quick frustrated. One of them was the stud for bolting the fuel filter to the car. I am trying to figure out how to remedy that situation currently. The other fasteners were the screws holding in the three mounts that ran the fuel and brake lines forward. Those will also be tricky to sort out.

            If you don't have access to the back side of where they snapped, drill out the base of the snapped studs, pop in some nutserts and some stainless steel bolts!

                    definitely just run a roofing self-tapping screw with gasket right through the floor.

                          Replacing all the lines isn't a bad idea at this point along with cleaning out the fuel tank.

                            I took my tanks to get cleaned and lined to a radiator shop in Butler. They did a great job with fast turn around. Just a thought.

                                      I've never see n a bassboat without live wells.  Usually they are stainless or plastic.

                                        I've never seen a bass guitar With live wells, so makes sense that your question was confusing. Carry on!
