    Don-When I read your post I honestly don't know what to say, except I will do my best to give good information and hope someone will find it useful. Thank you for your kind words you inspire me to work harder.

    RestoRod-You are right, I have friends that have and do work at these places and for some reason they just turn these shows into a circus atmosphere, it's a shame, there are some real craftsman out there that they make them look like fools sometimes.

    IC2-That P-32 just doesn't look like something out of his shop.

    I was working on my gas tank filler spout today. It is really tight in that area, I had tried several different approaches but couldn't get anything to work. When I get stumped with something I just move to another area and do something else. That was the case today, I went to the motor to work on the thermostat housing. I can't use a stock housing because of the way my radiator is designed. So we made a plate to bolt to the water pump then I will weld in this stainless tubing at the correct angle, then the alignment will be correct for the radiator. After that was made I picked up the thermostat housing to put it back in the box to return it, I looked at it again and saw my filler neck for my gas tank. I cut away everything I didn't need and there it was the correct angle and everything. Sometimes I guess it's all how you look at something.
