Mr Niolon

since im planning to use the mustang tank in my 54 i was wondering where you got the patch panel that covers the hole where the filler neck came thru the cab corner or did you you form it yourself ? i was just wondering since it seems a lot of us are going that way for a tank thanks for any info



thanks again gee ooh

I just bought one from Mid-Fifty. I haven't received it yet, but they tell me that it has crisper corners than other vendors and is tall enough to cover the fuel filler.

I also bought all my patch panels from Mid-50.. Their quality seems to be a little better... but you'll still need a little hammer work...,

"Mr. Niolon"

Yah, I wondered who the h*ll he was talking about myself!

Hey, cousin! Ya know what really hurts? You're standing at a checkout counter having impure thoughts about the foxy young cashier and then when you get up to her, she says "good morning SIR!". Remember when we used to be able to pick them up?

The only thing I hate more than growing old - is - the alternative.

One more vote for Mid-Fifty cab corners. I have purchased other panels from them I was not thrilled with, but I thought their cab corners were very good.

As far as the Mister Niolon stuff is concerned, I clearly remember trying to get the "Be nice to John" amendment removed from our constitution. RMF was deaf to my plea, so I guess we just deal with it from here?

I do hope I didn't anger you in any way by saying that Mr. Niolon

Mr Ferguson,

The only thing worse than having her say good morning sir is asking if you'd like the senior citizen discount. or having them ask if they could carry your tray to the table.

we alway were taught to treat our elders and betters with respect and the title sir..Mr. Fergy, Mr Fenders, Mr Rage et al. And Sir Mr. Niolon SIR


Just steve

Speaking of fuel filler hole patches....

does anyone have a part number or item name for the patch panel for the fuel filler hole, can't seem to find it on Mid-Fifties online catalog.

Thanks

Oldtimer? Bah. I doubt your a senior citizen. You are probally in your late 30's to early 40's. You need a few more articles (or inches) under your belt before your an oldtimer.
