Re: installing Dorman gas tank in Malibu-filler neck out of No need for a pipe, Ive used my extra large vise grips (bare hands) to bend the filler down and call it a day.

couple more pics,,,Im waiting on the headers and driveshaft to get here as well as a few odds and ends. Im hoping to fire her up soon.

Update: I've had a few saturdays to work on the car so i put the body back on frame and installed the fuel lines, brake lines, gas tank, crossmember. I just started the wiring but ran out of time untill next saturday. Theres probably a few things i forgot to mention, but pics can be better than...
