Finally have my build blog sorted

Post by SoFlaFiat »

If anyone is interested to follow along, I have started a blog to document my resto-mod. Share, comment, joke, insult, praise, what ever you like, I can take it all!!
I have set the goal to drive "miscuglio" to freak-out 2014 so please wish me luck :D

How are you going to change out your rubber filler hose if you've welded up the corner rocker. I like frenching the license plate. very nice spot welding.

It's a good point but I did check that I could reinstall the filler hose with the panel in. The top can be reached from inside the trunk and the bottom from under the car. I am actually thinking about a bigger fuel tank, which would then be filled from inside the trunk. Not completely sold on it because of fumes when filling. If I go this route, I would run the tank vent into the wheel well and weld the gas flap shut. Smooth up the left fender just like the right. I like that... but, like I said, not sold on the idea yet.

Funny you ask, this being my first blog, I'm still learning how to work with it. Yesterday afternoon I tried to add several posts from my phone... Very convenient, if it works. The new posts sat on my phone all night and would not publish. One of them was about my taillight plans :(
I know it sounds crazy but I like the older style taillights, like my 77, and have found some LED clusters that I will retrofit.
I'll get the post up, one way or another. :D
Thanks for the good words!
