Got the new gas tank in today. Sending unit scored a zero on the bench test; I had already planned on a new one during the resto so that's no big deal at all... Sounds good with the exhaust system quieted back down...seems back to normal now...think I'll try one of those Toyota gas pedals as a possible fix for the WOT issue... 
In other Bambi-related news... I told you guys that I finally got a passenger side splash shield earlier this week from the Bayer Boys (looks like the original was removed when someone tried to install some kind of makeshift antennae on my radio-delete car :loco: ). Well, I picked it up on Wednesday, had the boys at Delta Air Lines' shipping/receiving build me a box for it on Thursday, and checked it as luggage on my flight home last night. Well, Mr. Murphy got involved and DAL lost the box... My roll-aboard suitcase made it but the splash shield couldn't make the hour flight from Atlanta to Tampa... Filed a lost bag claim and they told me it should make it in later last night. This morning at 3 A.M. my cell phone goes off - Tom Sawyer by Rush is my ringtone for general usage - and as much as I love Rush I don't want to hear Tom Sawyer at 3 A.M. Most nights anyway...
So the voice on the other end of the phone identifies himself as a driver for some expedited courier service and he has my box. I tell him to bring it by later today. He replies with "I'm standing outside your front door." When I opened the door he apologized for waking me and said "they told me this HAD to be delivered tonight." Okay, I guess??? I know I never said that. Trust me, I wasn't planning an all nighter to get it stripped, painted, and installed... Well, looking on the bright side I am thankful that they found it...
