Strange, what browser are you using? You can always do the tags yourself too. (img)http://blahblah.jpg(/img) replace () with []

No way, full interior is going back in, except the back seats, no point in having them.. I'd like to put in a 4th gen console but i'm gonna hold off for now on that..

Roll bar is now painted, looks awesome! I'll have to snap a few pix and postem' up..

Did you have to drop the gas tank to weld them back ones in? or is there room incase you burn threw? Also was there any fab. work that needed to be done or was it a put in place and weld type of deal?

looks awesome get that sucker painted and put the interior back in it. What good does a car do sitting in the garage. Show it off and take a ride in it. then it can be really DONE.

Well i totally stripped my car because i have an entirely new suspension, new motor, new tranny, etc.. I converted to carb and i bought a new gas tank and welded on a sump, so right now there is no gas tank in it.. I would be alittle leary about welding on top the gas tank if it is in there, not because of burning through it but it gets down right hot, that alone can be dangerous.

Don't weld near any gas tank unless its filled with water guys or removed from the car and WAY out of sight. Its not worth risking your life and car and garage/home/shop just to save a few hours hassle to remove the tank. Don't think an Argon purge will work either. The ONLY way to be safe is to remove it or drain it and fill it with water
