I finally got my poor ol' beat-up box pretty much done. I still have a few dents and dings to fix but the floor is in, gas tank door finished, front panel replaced and the rear crossmember repaired so the sides don't wiggle anymore. I know how you guys like pictures so here are a few. Also a short video of the engine starting and running today.

I built a tank from stainless steel, the filler neck is coming off of an old Dodge pickup, and the gas cap is from an old 60's hearse,
has a nice round chrome bezel, the gas cap fits inside.

Next is a bit of filler, another coat of primer, and on to paint!
