Photo Opp?

Was there a recent post with a close up photo of the guy's hood with the really nice filler cap and surround ring... I think he is Ted Rogers, with the #19 outlaw speedster.

I went to Parts-Obsolete but all the photos were gone?
Help appreciated

Paul,

Here it is below. I recently found the cap at a good price, but the drilled handle has to be fabricated and welded on. Let me know if you need details.

Great, thanks Bruce!
I'll be dragging the car across the street to the body shoppe now that my tank is in... way cool. Some of my other mods are not working out so well due to retro-fit limitations, and the differences between planning ahead and basic differences betyween pan-based cars and tube-framed cars... It's been a disapointing day.

Me thinks it's time for the nog... buckets and buckets of nog. The Medicine Man has left (his mind) the building.
Merry Ho-Ho to all,
and to all a good fright!

Paul,

I would be curious how the new tank compares to the old tank. Would appreciate if you could post a photo when you get a chance. Are you going to put the cap through the hood similar to the photo?

Paul H. Did you try to send me a email?
I got one named Pauls money the Samba.com,, that I deleted, un opened. It looked very supicious.

What's the size of that gas tank?

Barry, I shop the classifieds on the Samba and one of my screen names is Paulsmoney(@aol.com)Could be I was looking for new stuff, you sellin'any of your old stuff?

Bruce, I should get over to the shop sometime today. Some year-end homebuyers expect me to be working during the dog days of December, imagine that!?

My new tank is just the over-sized VW option. It sits a little prouder than the 8 gallon tank commonly installed. Once in place, it looks pretty stock by our replicar standards... The 356 tanks were big ol' recantangular boxes (the part that showed) with a large center located fill cap (good to catch drips). Original tanks sat back close to the 'firewall'

This tank sits out about the same distance as before, dropped into the same hole, about 14 gallons, we bent the float and guesstimate when I'm running on empty I'll have about two to three gallons remaining in the tank.

I'll select a fine grain sliver of French oak and whittle it to perfection so as to resemble the carry-sticks of yor' and mark it up to figure my actual emptiness...

Suspiciously yours,

Lets see , 2 turn signal switches early bug and 70 bus.$50. eather way . a new bare front beam from cip-1 ,it was not as heavy duty as the one from SO Cal. so I painted it black and hung in a out building Im not sure what its worth. maybe? $65. 2 61 beetle rims, fare condition.I try to keep it cleared out, and if work keep going down hill maybe a T-4.
I have acess to a vw salvge parts, what you got in mind ,and what your budget price?

Thanks Barry, but none of that stuff sounded familiar. I was recently looking for heater alternatives on the Samba.
Bruce, here are the pics of my tank.

Paul, That is a thing of beauty, good decision !

Paul, sorry if I missed this part in earlier messages but, where did you get the tank?

John Steele at JPS, check the maker's list under
JPS Motorsports.
I had him powdercoat it silver and I will place some faux hold-down straps under the bonnet and it will be to my satisfaction... and about 1/8 the cost of the retro FuelSafe unit I saw on eBay...I know mine is not for real racing circumstances like a FuelSafe, etc. so we don't need to go there.

Looks great. I saw in your pics you got your flip-cap from John too.

Paul,

Thanks for the photos. Nice job! Do you have a part number for the truck shifter boot (I can't find the previous thread that described it).
