Re: The "Hoopty Jr" Project

Not a whole lot done. Started having fuel leaks and found because of the pickup I had no vent, so I guess that is what forced things to start leaking. I lifted the bed hoping I didn't have to drop the tank (full of course). Needless to say I had to drop the tank. Evidently someone changed it out before and put in a 2 line pickup (which is the new one I ordered and put in a few months back). Turns out I need a 3-line pickup so I can the fuel and return line, plus the vent line. The original vent line that ran to the engine canister was cut in a couple spots, but I made me a new vent. Took one of these motorcycle vents, bent a piece of hard line and made it come up between the cab and bed. It is barely noticeable and works great. Got all the new line rubber put on, secured all the lines again and went cruising with Jr. Running like a top and the vent issue with the fuel seems to be solved. JR is all ready for Cruising the Coast, then he'll get his engine changed out.
