This is the bare body in the area where the gas tank sits at the rear of the car.

Charlie,

-------If that tank is just too ruff there is an excellent repro out there from a place named "Quanta". Im sure they have a website but dont know what the address is. Very nice, good people to deal with.........Bill S

I was just joking about using the tank over. It was seeping goo through all the rust holes. I have a new Quanta tank sitting here ready to go.

Ahhh Nuts..Fired the 63 with the Fuel Injection today. Ran briefly and managed to blow a bunch of Almond shells out of the tailpipe that I had removed the muffler from.

Inside the tank need a little bit also. There is about 10lbs of crud in it.

From the looks of that photo, you might want to check and see if Jimmy Hoffa is in there, too.

Charley this thread is classic. You should've documented everything on video. Or better yet, called the Discovery Channel. As popular some of these car shows are, resurrecting a bunch of Corvettes found in a barn would be a sure hit. (I know I'd watch.) I can see it now... "Drat! More nuts! Stupid squirrels."

Having a hard time getting gas into the fuel injection unit. Float might be a little stuck.

The brown substance that used to be gas is now more like a cross between Molasses and silly putty.
