    I jerked out some crappy high PSI inline electric fuel pump that did nothing but flood the carb to the point of fuel pouring out of it at idle and putting back an original mechanical fuel pump.

    dropping the fuel tank tomorrow and either repairing it (leaking) or ordering a new one

    More rust repair and body work . If I had it to do over again I would spend more and buy a clean car to start but it's too late now. Hoping to have it ready for paint by the first week of Dec. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end but dang this is a lot of work .

    Hang in there. All that work is what makes this car exclusively "yours".
