Mac and all,
Way to go! Found the direction I am going to head. Doctasuds picts work well for me, is withing my budget, and range of capability. I have ran all of my fuel plumbing out of metal and tubing as well. The better point is the addition of brass. I am a commercial diver by trade, so brass is a part of my being : ) If my truck has a theme it would be a working truck for an old comm diver - thus one that used things around the site to fix it, brass, copper, n lead... much like farm trucks have saddle blankets on seats and bailing wire holding them together. By the way, Leadbelly is my company name and will one day be incorporated into the old door art.
thanks, I am heading out to the shade tree!
