The dash is a repro form here. http://stores.ebay.com/Matts-Classic-Bowties-Restoration

I am very happy with it, there are a few threads on here about them some good and some bad, but this one seems sweet.

Cheers :beers:

Looking good for sure. How hard is it to find parts down under? Everything have to be shipped in I presume.

Not that bad when you do it all yourself.... I'm trying to do it on the cheap really, would love to throw more into it but not at the moment.

One thing about fuel cells is that it seems they do not vent positive pressure. They have one way check valves to bring air in as fuel comes out. But in the trunk like that, if you fill the tank in the evening and let it heat up the next day, it will build up pressure. That's a big problem for unvented stock tanks. Just sommething to consider. If you do vent it, try and get the vent tube out of the trunk.

Keep up the good work. Car is going to rock the party!!

Cheers, This tank has two fittings ontop, one will be the return and the other will be a vent. It does not have a check valve in it, so now I just have to work out where to run it and what to fit on the end??

The fuel regulator is a rising rate (boost referenced) one, as boost increases so will the fuel pressure.

What have you done to the bottom end of that engine to take the boost without catastrophic failures? Forged crank, boost spec cam, lowered compression, etc? Cool project!
