    Had my body buy cut out the gas cap filler neck area and install a Hagan  90 Series round flat fuel door.  Much like new car fuel doors you push one edge and it will pop open.  Will be painted body color and slick up the rear pannel.
    I will post more photos once he is finished in the trunk.

    Re: 62 Falcon Progress

    Nice looking butt (TS&T), will it keep the Falcon tank from belching fuel all over you, the paint and the bumper as you try to fill it.  Or is that not a problem on the 63-?  The 64 of my friend's was terrible for that but a bit better now that we put a 20 gallon tank and modified filler neck in it.

    Doing the 1969 Mustang 24" radiator update.  Bought a Cold Case with shroud and electric fan.  I am very impressed with the quality.  After enlarging the radiator opening I was able to use the front flange on the radiator and bolt it to the core support, this will move the radiator 1/2 to 3/4" futher farward.  The vent louvers on the passenger side have been cut our and filled in with metal.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Good News & Bad!!

    Got 6 of 8 pieces of glass installed today.  The Quarter window glass was not correct.  Contacted Auto City Classic, they pulled up my order to find the Quarter glass they shipped was not correct.  Shipping the correct pieces today,  GREAT service from Auto City Classics.
