Here are some interior pix. It used to be the Ginger Mach I. A lot of parts are not available so they are recycled.

I went for a drive Sunday afternoon, 100 degrees outside and everything is running fine.
Gas gauge is still giving me problems. Saturday I ran it down to 3/4 tank and put 8 gallons in it. Sunday I was down to 1/2 and it fell to empty so I stopped and filled it. Iput 10 gallons in it and it still read empty. When I got home I messed around with the wires and now it reads full, but not over full. I may have to run new wires.
Road construction on the highway tells me that I need to raise the rear. It rubs the tires on big bumps.
People sure notice Brutus. Points, stares, coments, smiles, and even had a cople of bikers in their front yard raise their glasses to me.
I have only seen a handfull of old Mustangs out this year. What happened to them? I used to see them all the time.

Wednesday morning I went out to get in Brutus to go to work. I opened the garage door and found a puddle under the gas tank. Fuel was dripping on the floor, and when I touched the spot it started to poor. I had my wife stay home and fill gas cans becuase there was 12 gallons in it and I didn't have time to drain it .
The tank that is on it already has a few patches and some dents so after I got to work I called and ordered a new tank. It should be here in a few days.
The good thing about this is it happened at my house so I could do something about it. I work 50 miles from home and it could have left me stranded in between.
After I get the tank back in it I am going to take it back to the shop and have its 500 mile service done so Dale can look everything over and do any adjustment that is needed. While it is there he is going to remove the leaf springs and re-arch them to lift the rear about 2".

There was around 12 gallons in it and my wife retrieved 10 gallons of it. So not to big of loss. It was premium so I didn't want to lose any. My wife is great isn't she. It was draining slow so it took her all day. She would just go empty the small can into a big can about every hour until it was empty.
