Hello Joe,
I like your remedy for the clutch cable on the Bell_Crank style bellhouse much better than cutting the crossmember. :-\
You need to find an early Fuel tank. They have a slope so they are not as noticeable.
Save your old tank if it is good for someone who may need it at a later date.. :)

WOW I'm impressed!
I agree with you about the 73 Bumpers looking ALOT better that the 74's. Nice use of Dynamat on the Interior. I also like your Clutch Cable remedy, both the Spring and relocation tab.
Did you have to cut the holes in the Front Valance Pannel for Core Support Clearance?

Yes, I had to cut slots in the rear valance for the spring shackles and also clearance holes in the front valance for the lower frame/core support. I may get some fog or running lamps to cover the spots.
