My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

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
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.

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

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 seen a bass guitar With live wells, so makes sense that your question was confusing. Carry on!

Still waiting on the rest of the column parts to arrive so I can put it back in.
The gas tank is cleaned and ready to be put back together. I need to order all of the lines and gaskets yet. I also need to clean up under the car and undercoat that section.

Been working on little things the past two days.
I "rebuilt" the throttle pedal assembly. Everything is brand new besides the lever itself. My old pedal return spring was snapped and not doing anything. I don't recall the pedal ever feeling bad so I was surprised to see that.
Old
New
I also got pads for the brake and clutch pedals
The steering column is also back in the car now. I placed an order for the fuel lines above the tank and need to start wire wheeling and undercoating the tank area under the car.
