Gunmetal 72 Dart - Cool cruiser build (no... refurb!)

OK, so since life happened and I didn't get around to fixing the quarters (I did pretty much finish the trunk though), and I was tired of not being able to drive the Dart, I put the new fuel tank & sending unit in today and messed with the carb a little. Runs fantastic! I'm sure I can get it to run better, but the gas tank was definitely an issue. The old sending unit was pretty much rotted away, I couldn't believe it. Inside of the tank crusty and horrible.

Of course the blowby is an issue still. I dumped a can of Engine Restore in her to see what it would do. But of course, I have a much better long-term solution for that problem. ;)

Drove it around quite a bit this afternoon and just ran up to the grocery store in it to pick up some Schlitz to celebrate :)

By the way, thanks to the knowledgeable members of FABO, I knew to use the old original sending unit lock ring instead of the crappy new ones that are only half as thick. Tank is close to full, no leaks so far!
