    Coming along quite well. I'd suggest some mid 60's Mopar dog dish caps with or without beauty rings.

    That's what i had in mind until i measured my rims. These wheels came off of a later model Crown Vic and take an 11" cap for a dog dish. There's a few choices out there; either the Crown Vic police cap that says Ford or just a plain aftermarket dog dish. Not sure yet; I've been looking at some 50's era full wheel covers, too. Or there's always spider caps

    I wrapped up several things over the last few days. It started out as changing out leaf spring bushings as they were shot and clunking pretty bad when you hit any kind of bump. I didn't realize it until I got going but the bumper had to come back off to get the spring shackles out. Then I realized that my fuel tank was leaking from an undetermined spot. So off came the tank and the bumper. After cleaning up the wet spot on the tank I found a couple of little pinholes. It looks like some rust pitting had started. Weird; only one small spot; the rest of the tank looked solid. So i rinsed the tank several times with hot water and Dawn and was able to weld the pinholes shut. Just for good measure I used some fiberglass mat and resin over the questionable area. Hopefully this will work long term; I did the same thing on an old fuel tank years ago and it held for several years. A new tank isn't in the budget right now. I also put the truck weatherstripping on. This all made a huge difference; it drives so much better with the front end adjusted, the sway bar, and the new spring bushings. Now for some new tires, the rest of the trim, and for now I decided to run a set of original 49 Plymouth hubcaps.

    Nice work Falcon. On a motorcycle I had with a rusty tank there was this two part epoxy tank liner the cured my problems for years! It is easy to use just pour in the tank and swish it all around to coat all the sides and seams, just make sure not to leave a hose connector on and it'll work great!

    They sell a product called "SealAll" it works great on gas tanks very well it comes in a small tube. I have used it on pool pumps on the pressure side and held a long time.

    I've been driving the 49 a lot but truthfully haven't been really happy with it. Once the novelty of the SHO motor wore off I wished I had gone with a V8 like I originally planned. The 3.2 runs really good but 180 cubic inches is still only 180 cubic inches. I thought about just selling the car and ran it on Ebay a few times but only got a lot of trade and lowball offers. So I think I'm going to finish out the cruising season with it and put it back under the knife this winter. I picked up a 400 Mopar B block and am planning on doing a 451 inch stroker with it. That should increase the fun factor a bit.
