56 Chev up and running!

Well Finally got the Chev together. Wow does it handle nice,flat on the corners. before it was like a boat,now it is like a speed boat! Drives nice and straight with the new urethane bushings and the front and rear sway bars help the handling and corners.
Next the truck project. Just finished the gas tank filler. I used a piece of pipe and turned it down from 1 3/4 to 1 1/2 with a lip on the ends to lock in the flex gas hose. I used a hole saw and made a 1 1/2 in hole in the box sub frame to pass the filler pipe through then welded it in to ensure  structural integrity for the box and floor.
I have seen many gas tanks in the back with the filler in the bed floor and can't understand why? anyway I have a 3 degree slope and a 1/2 inch vent so do not expect any problems and am using a 47 Ford car filler door and neck.
