....now we're smokin' (or not, as it's the new fuel tank). With 350 cu. ins. and a lead foot the new tank just had to be bigger than the old one. With 100-120 miles between fills I might as well have a motorcycle

...baffled and sumped for the future addition of throttle body EFI.... woo-hoo

....now this I like. 1954 car needs 'parking' brake but it doesn't need a handbrake so an electronic line lock on the back brakes does the job. Cushty

Kev is that your 66 vette in the first pic too? You're clearly a man with great taste in cars!

Sorry Hairbear I don't have such good taste....yet. The 'Vette was another car at the garage where the Healey came from, Kar Kraft of Gilford, New Hampshire.

As you can see they still have a picture of my car on their site. Amazingly it shows the side that doesn't have the paint flaws.

Never mind I just called it 'patina'
