Unless you plan on driving it on a regular basis, having an electric fuel pump is nice as you can fill the carb bowl making it start much quicker...just a thought.

Sounds good!

Sounds great. Congrats. I run a mechanical fuel pump with no problem. Sometimes I run it daily and sometimes not for weeks. No problem either way. Drive it, don't hide it. 👍

Mike B I do like that part of fuel in a hurry. On other builds over the years old mud trucks and all I had a couple of failures (as usual in the most inconvenient place possible waist deep in a mud pit lol). It just really tainted me on them. Just one of those things that gets in your head and you can't shake it lol.
Thank yall Mike B, Gdads and Glenn's towing! I'm really loving this project!
