        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 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. 

                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.

                      Are your live wells plastic or stainless?

                          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!

                                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.

                                  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.

                                    The dust and cobwebs were applied from the factory for lubrication. You will need to get another packet of dust and cobwebs for the new one.

                                      Is this something that would benefit with a spray of white lithium grease? I also wondered the same for the retention spring on the steering column. I also figured it may fight off oxidation=)

                                        I don't think the lithium grease would hurt it.
