I hope so. The same amount of effort at this point of the build seems to yield a much greater reward than at the beginning...kind of like infants vs. toddlers. Sean was great. He is very available and the carb looks fantastic. It's cool that he's the guy who always answers the phone...on the first ring.

It's an aftermarket tank...most of the vendors on here have them. I got mine as an unused second hand item from board member 1Rippen. I had a local radiator shop swap for the correct neck and seal it. They put a coat of "galvanized" paint on the outside that didn't look too hot, so Eric just sanded it down and painted it silver.

It is different. My bracket is on the driver's side and a little different. Apparently no one has the correct rear lines for this application...as evidenced by previous threads and posts in this thread. InLine is done with me as of this week unless I've got something to send them to copy. I don't...yet. May start hunting a good original set...not sure what I'm going to do at this moment.
