Pump to carb fuel line salvaged off Dragon2 for use in Cap'n Sketchy. It won't be needed on the wagon since I have to pull the drive train and plan on installing all new components anyway.

Pieces Parts

Nice aluminum dash trim on Uncle Crusty, the Fury parts car, that will be saved for Dragon2. Use of this trim is actually a holdover from the Exner era '62 Plymouth B-Bodies.

Got the new fuel line installed. Sure felt good to get that done!

Wasn't in the mood to lie on the cold cement to run the new fuel line on the '63 moredoor so I took to starting on the fenders instead, both need to go down to bare metal. These two are off the Fury parts car and are fairly solid, though the one pictured needs metal work around the turn signal. The Savoy's original fenders are roached beyond repair.

Ready For Winter

Ran the Savoy up to operating temp one last time before I dropped the fuel tank, getting ready to replace the fuel line, tank and sending unit. While the tank's off, going to do some clean-up work and install new rear shocks.
