You guys are awesome! Tuesday was a productive day for 507 stuff. I flew up to Philly to check on the progress of my gas tank and visit two 507 owners and see their cars. One was restored many years ago and the other is about ready for paint. That car is the one that I got all the measurements from last year to accurately build my chassis.

A few details I need to add to mine are the front jack lifting point on the front crossmember. It’s a “V” with a small pad on the base. Next to that is a factory tie down for shipping. Also, heat shielding on the exhaust.

Here’s the tank with internal baffling. It’s just about done.

Several small details photographed that will help with interior trim and such. I’ve got details on the hardtop now too for when I start fabricating that.
All in all, a great visit!

Cheers
Dave
