ps did you drink that bottle of vodka ?

Many women feel uncomfortable even a little anxious using machinery such as angle grinders.Emotionally for your Mrs, just dungarees alone do not offer a high enough level of protection...at the least she will need to wear a white lace bra under them before any tool handling occurs :lol:
RE Vodka...considering that the one in the pic is Russian and the one currently on my shelf is Finnish...then yes I must have drunk it....but I can't seem to remember doing so :lol:

dont know how i missed the gas tank install but WOW!
i was wondering what would fit under there, i am tempted to fit an XF falcon ute petrol tank(if it fits) and fit the XF fuel filler setup too instead of the ugly transit one.
just had a brainwave that it may fit better where the spare wheel "normally" goes(my small gas tank is there now(out of date).

i had plans for at least One LPG tank behind drivers seat along the wall to the wheel arch. but wanted a second. might take a better look under there again.. was thinking the donut type tanks at one point.

great metal work on all the shapes and ideas. i was thinking of fitting a fuel flap from an EB falcon etc to hide the cap..
1980 Mk2 4.1 litre 5 speed manual, 2.77 or 2.92 falcon diff conversion, falcon front discs.

RE Fuel Fillers......Ours went through different stages...Originally I was going to fit a flip hatch to cover the fuel filler.....
then I decided that this............Image....was the look I wanted....Toni quickly pointed out that I was getting out of my hotrod jurisdiction (Hotrod look is supposed to be confined to dashboard and engine detail...whilst body is to be hippie bus styling)...I agreed and the current plan is to get a standard locking lpg cap and convert it into the shape of a flower.
When you said about the EB flap to hide the cap...it reminded me of the original plan....but another way of going about things is to make the cap a feature like in the Dodge Challenger Filler Pic .
