Jon,
Yep, plenty hot and we are only in the middle of spring. I was concerned about safety and kinda figured like you did about the height. Since I am going to drive alot before paint etc. I could live with that solution and maybe do something different as 30coupe wrote. I just got my gauges Fri. and need haven't checked if I have enough clearence to add pickup. I am going to have to run a electric fuel pump so maybe when I do thhe tear down I can get a different tank etc.
Thanks,
Jim
I think I have a good chance of making it to State run.
